There are quite a few “anti-elite” Jews out there who hate “White Anglo Saxon Protestants”. I’ve met some. In retrospect it’s rather funny to see highly educated Jews wage “class warfare” when they are unwittingly following the same path as the Nazis and the Khmer Rouge.

“Affirmative action” is a way for rich white kids to assume protective camouflage against the rest of America. They feign sympathy for their perceived enemies while keeping most of the loot for themselves. For them, it’s perfect. You’ve got rich white kids smirking when poor kids get so polarized by race that they beat each other up without noticing who’s really oppressing them.

Think about it. If desegregation had been coupled with an endowment for historically black colleges and universities to compensate them for federal and state negligence in living up to the doctrine of “separate but equal”, instead of this disgusting regime of affirmative action where the federal government counts people based on race, we would be a lot further along now. The fact is that rich white kids want the myth of the white race to go on because they can then force poor white kids to defend them if their “minority” tokens get too uppity.

The people who are running this country aren’t elites. They just think they are. They have the tokens of status in our culture, for sure, but they’re just tokens. When you call the rich kids “elites”, you are acknowledging their superiority over you, and they get a kick out of that.

Look, I’m not disputing that America’s ruling class wants population replacement in America. Many of them do. That’s like ruling classes everywhere because rich people usually want to differentiate themselves from the poor relations and delineate their status with something like race or ethnicity to cement their power over their servants. Remember Hyacinth Bucket?

I know very well how those who demand amnesty for illegal immigrants are generally the same people who would abolish the Senate and the Electoral College because they are “undemocratic”. In essence, they would destroy the power of states like Wyoming, Iowa, or Vermont to defend themselves against a horde of outsiders coming in, much as their forebears sought to replace Sacs, Foxes, and Winnebagos with Hungarian, Italian, and Chinese immigrants.

The wheel turns. A federal government that can remove one ethnicity can remove another. A federal government that can discriminate against one race can discriminate against another. It’s divide and rule. The ideology of “diversity” is a way to centralize money, power, and status in the hands of a rich ruling class. But elite? Elite??? There’s nothing elite about being a post-Calvinist post-Christian White Anglo Saxon Protestant, and if you think so, you’re deluding yourself.

If you go back far enough, those so-called “Boston Brahmins” are almost certainly my distant relatives. Elite they are not. If one of my ancestors happens to be one of the founders of Rhode Island, it doesn’t make me any better than you. If you go back far enough, nearly everybody is descended from a king, prince, or some such notable. There’s a Persian saying, “Camels, fleas, and princes exist everywhere.”

And just think – I’m descended from a Welsh king (Owain, King of Deheubarth) who closed down two colleges in 969 because they received Saxon students! And for all I know, I may be descended from some of those Saxon students too. If this makes you think I’m elite, then I feel sorry for you.
