The hypocritical concept of “people of color” is so weird that it is now affecting the radical right. The Heritage Foundation has now fired Jason Richwine, the young conservative scholar who co-authored the Heritage Foundation report on the long-term costs of the amnesty bill backed by the “Gang of Eight.”
He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation where the scholar asserted that the average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. Leaving aside the discredited idea that intelligence is a racial trait, Richwine’s thesis would only have made any sense if the righties had accepted the left cant that turns Spanish speaking folks into a racial minority.
