Woods And Coulter: Ethnicity Matters

Plus the case of the mysterious vanishing Protestants

Keith Woods speaking at the Berkeley Springs Castle. We never succeeded in getting Ann Coulter there. But maybe if we can start conferences again…

I’ve been tied up with Discovery resulting from New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ lawfare against us, Land Of The Free. But yesterday I was distracted by a reader’s comment into a displacement-activity exchange that I’ve decided to immortalize here.

Irish internet phenom Keith Woods (his speech to the 2024 VDARE conference is here) recently Noted this on his substack:

Liberals could fatally undermine the “far right” and solve 90% of the problems of immigration by just selecting immigrants from other European countries. It’s the ultimate “solve everything” switch.

The random stabbings, rapes, ethnic ghettos, grievance narratives against natives, elevated crime rates, they all come from importing large non-White populations.

Even Ireland’s former Taoiseach, when he didn’t know he was being recorded, admitted he didn’t have a problem with immigration so much as Africans and Islam. Even if you ignore race, that’s the common sense position of anyone who just looks at the outcomes of immigration policy, but it’s impossible to imagine him ever saying that openly in public life.

But modern liberalism begins from the premise that it is evil to make political judgements on the basis of group identity, so we are permanently trapped in this political dialectic between infinity immigration and secondary arguments about services and integration. Conor’s messaging is much better – import the third world, become the third world!

Of course, as Keith knows perfectly well, Western governments would never flip that “solve everything” switch and ban Third World immigration because they HATE the nations (= ethnocultural entities) that they rule and want to deracinate them. But nevertheless I helpfully restacked his idea with a comment:

Peter Brimelow, 15h, PeterBrimelow.com

U,S. version: The 1924 immigration act’s National Origins system made eminent sense and should never have been overturned

The much-vilified but unimpeachably sensible 1924 immigration cutoff was based on the assumption that ethnicity matters. And, whatever else you can say about it (a lot), the post-1965 Hart-Cellar immigration inflow has now incontrovertibly confirmed that ethnicity does matter (a lot).

My reader said:

Would you consider Marco Rubio white? Is Sean Duffy a problem? RFK Jr? If your point is Know Nothingism, yea, we are well past the stage where the WASPs ran things.

I replied:

Well, the point is that national origins (=ethnicity, race) matter. Where precisely you draw the line is a different question. Keith Woods just proposed excluding all Third Worlders, but as someone points out in his Comments, there are some low-crime Third Worlders e.g. Japanese.

Ireland is part of Western Europe, so the 1924 system didn’t impact it at all. Marco Rubio is obviously white—his family originated in Spain and Italy. Americans tend to think that all Latin Americans are mestizos, but that’s just not true.

A more honest way of capturing the National Origins effect would be to go directly to race e.g. prioritize white immigration, but the political culture apparently can’t handle that right now.

But then I realized my reader was actually referring to an Ann Coulter Post in which she had hilariously tortured Google about the absence of straight white Protestant men in the Biden White House that I had also just helpfully Restacked with a comment. They both (this is my excuse) dealt with currently-unmentionable ethnic patterns.

Ann Coulter: “President Biden’s core 15 department heads included zero straight, white, Protestant men—making it the first cabinet in modern U.S. history without one.”

It was a Minority Occupation Government.

So I followed up with my reader:

Peter Brimelow, 15h, PeterBrimelow.com

Looking at this more carefully, I see you were responding to my restacking of Ann, not of Keith Woods, sorry. It’s simply an interesting fact that Biden so completely excluded white Protestants, who are about a quarter of the U.S. electorate, and it’s even more interesting that the fact was not reported. It’s to do with the bipolar ethnic distribution of U.S. politics (GOP = whites, Dems POCs/ Jews/ homosexual etc.). Kevin MacDonald discussed this phenomenon relative to SCOTUS here

Kevin MacDonald’s 2011 article here (for the record, he was brought up an Irish/ German Catholic, just like Lydia) is a very funny account of the DAILY SHOW’s flying him from California to New York to discuss the final disappearance of White Protestants from the U.S. Supreme Court—and the subsequent arbitrary suppression of the interview. Probably the producers genuinely became afraid that WASPS would rise in rebellion with pitchforks and torches if the remarkable fact was publicly Noticed.

So it’s not just Google that doesn’t want to mention the mysterious vanishing Protestants

Of course, they don’t seem to want to mention it themselves.

Race is even more unmentionable. VDARE.com first analyzed the increasingly bipolar racial distribution of the Republican and Democratic parties in 2018. The GOP is de facto the White Party; the Democrats are the party of POCs, Jews, homosxuals.

This means that what amounts to two nations are warring in the bosom of a single state. (A reference to Canadian history, which I think everyone ought to know, dammit).

And this, of course, explains the increasingly zero-sum nature of American politics. One pole of the bipolar electorate might well think it has the chance to conquer the other—and/ or that it can’t afford to lose.

I think this is an interesting development. But I don’t see it discussed.

My final word to my reader:

Peter Brimelow: Thanks for the simulating comment! I actually think an immigration moratorium is possible—miracles happen quite often in politics—but the problem of the implosion of Protestantism is more profound. As Ann implied, they just seem to have no collective sense of themselves at all any more. My children with Lydia are being brought up Catholic
