JOEL KOTKIN: How Race Politics Burns Out. “In doing research for my 1992 book Tribes, I found ethnic success was less about gaining unquestioning compliance on cultural and political matters from the majority than in encouraging behaviors, such as frugality, hard work and mutual support. This latter approach has propelled virtually every successful dispersed ethnic group, from the Jews and British to the Chinese, Indians, Palestinians, Lebanese, and West Indians.”

Sorry, that offers insufficient opportunities for graft, and grift. Capitalizing on white guilt is easier and more lucrative, until it stops working. And it hasn’t stopped working yet.
