.@nytimes is trash to publish this & the premise makes no sense - "we" can't miss WASPs cause they never left.

But what kills me is @DouthatNYT trying to pretend these aren't his views - "people" think this way, not him & oh did he mention he's Catholic.

If you are going to be racist, have the courage to own your racism.

It's actually sad to want in to a club you're almost in, but not quite, like you have nearly everything a WASP has, but you're Catholic.

So then you think you'll flip that and use it as a meaningful defense to accusations of racism. Yeah, OK.

More important tho, the article's headline says "we" miss WASPs.

But that's not how it's written.

It's about what "people" think & "they" say or "their" opinions. The writer distances himself from views that are still very clearly his.

It's kinda clever, but not that clever.

I mean, it's not that clever. It is obvious.

Which takes me back to my original tweet - I guess ultimately Douthat is a cog & I really should save my wrath for @nytimes.

The article. The headline. How did this get published?

This is the liberal media. This is what gets Trump riled up. THAT is scary stuff.
