Roger Kimball on affirmative action
Filed under: Comment nowRemediesTags: Affirmative action, Immigration, Multiculturalism, Racial inequality, Samuel Huntington |
Roger Kimball, at Pajamas Media, has an extended essay today arguing against affirmative action, hyphenated Americans, immigration, and multiculturalism.
Kimball’s essay, which draws heavily on arguments from Sam Huntington, offers many of the usual objections to the preceding elements of progressive politics, as well as to such related concepts as arguments by philosophers and social scientists against the use of nationalism as the basis of identity.
