That's One Way of Looking At It

Where do you fit in?

The Democrats are now the coalition of permanently aggrieved alienated minorities: the rich Jews who bankroll the whole enterprise, deracinated White liberals, single women, homosexuals, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and public sector employees.

I guess I am a "deracinated white liberal."

Whether the Democrats have abandoned efforts to win the hearts of "racinated" whites or not, there is a certain point of view that sees the browning of the country as a kind of genocide for white people. One commenter in that thread talks about being "vanished." It's an interesting psychological phenomenon because, on its face, it doesn't seem rational. Losing your status as the majority doesn't involve the death of a single white person. No one disappears in any literal sense. Yet, it feels like a looming extinction to some people.

We can talk about white privilege (and the fear of losing it) and white supremacy, but there's also this existential angst that is driving the opposition to the Senate's immigration bill. Is that angst what is driving Mickey Kaus in his crusade?
