A Complete Guide to ‘Hipster Racism’

2nd May 2012

Read it.

“But I went to college — I can’t be racist!” Turns out, you can.

Steve Sailer thinks that this isn’t intended to be a parody.

For years, I’ve been talking about those who get the joke and those who don’t, and that’s what we see being played out, with the clueless going on the offensive. This is like Georgia attacking Russia in 2008.

This mind-set perfectly reflects the degree to which judicial review has become a matter of subjective preferences for the left.
