If US nationality were strictly 'based on ideas' it might consider deporting #ArunaKhilanani
It can't, and in fact the political mainstream calls this notion 'un-American', no matter how deep one's roots.
So a core US political aim is erasing those who are Americans by descent.
This means inevitable enmity as Whites (i.e. European origin Anglophones, ethnically defined by English settler stock, cf. Anglo-American law) will be minority of US citizens.
The mainstream 'Red vs Blue' or 'Urban vs Rural' America is really 'White America' vs 'US Empire'.
An almost entirely White America elected a Congress which passed the 1965 Immigration Act, not long after one which overturned Truman's veto of the 1952 McCarran—Walter Act (which, while abolishing racial requirements in force since 1790, established hard national origins quotas)
An almost entirely White America electorate in a slightly less White America overwhelmingly elected Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980 and again in 1984, whose response to the mass illegal immigration of foreigners was amnesty. The Liberal Millennial generation didn't even exist.
By the late 1980s, certainly by 1990 (when still half of all Census Whites traced their ancestry in whole, directly to English settlement of the Americas: h/t @AnnCoulter ) 'White America' was a people of immense acceptance for differences of race, religion, national origin, etc.
If you are a Baby Boomer or early Gen Xer, you remember the waning of 'WASP' power, at least its representation; in movies/TV and news, across all mass media, as government and politics, finance, Hollywood began to satirize "country club" Republicans, and the 'golf crowd'.
If you're a late Gen Xer, or early Millennial, you likely don't even get why certain whites in 80s TV and film were so snotty, undeservedly wealthy and out of touch. Today, to be a "WASP" is much more an identification of that *class* of Whites. But *MOST* of America was as such.
By the late 1970s, the Ethne of WASPs, Americans from the British Isles, were no longer in charge. The project of the Bowery Boys and the well-heeled Union Club in excluding Irish Catholics and German Jews, from firehouses to Yale University, was wholly obsolete; all were Whites.
And yet despite the immense expansion of the White American identity, which saw everyone from Poles to Spaniards rolled up into one English speaking mass (often through college and professional mediated intermarriage and social climbing), non-whites were still palpably their own;
Descendants of African slaves, Blacks, sometimes majority Euro. admixture individually, have never submitted themselves for identification with Whites (incl. via White exclusion cf. One Drop Rule) no matter their successes; Eddie Murphy humorously explains
And, why should they? Black Americans were not permitted equality with White Americans for a long time—their very presence in the Americas is the result of subjugation and generational enslavement by Europeans. Yet their triumphs are their own. They survived without Africa.
The aboriginals of the Americas, 'the Indians', 'Native Americans', while also having European admixture in many cases, held on to their lineal identities, sometimes intact languages and religions, even while serving in the military that'd defeated them:
White America's ethnogenesis began with Virginia Dare's birth in 1587. Today in 2021, even with generations of interracial marriage, no one from an Italian in Italy observing NYC & NJ area tourists, to Black Americans, to the Navajo, has any trouble identifying White Americans.
When White Americans *do* have genetic doubts, occasionally people with last names like Chastain or Colbert, or Schmitt or Schafer, discover they're the same
It isn't just genes, but *time apart*, linguistically, religiously, that makes up the nations
From the death of Chlodovechus, nephew of Merovech, son of Childeric, Clovis I of the Frankenreich—still slumbering at Basilique-cathédrale de Saint-Denis with his Merovingian house and the Carolingians—to the split of West & East Francia was just 511 to 869; only 358 years.
From today, to the birth of little Virginia Dare in 1587 is 2021-1587; 434 years.
If you accept that France and Germany are analyzeable as their own nations, their own people, naturally establishing themselves in the worldv via polities, it is clear who Whites, Americans are.
Whites are the American Ethne. Ethnic Americans, definitively, are Whites. Europeans in Europe often recoil at this talk. They should bear some attention to capitalization. Various peoples of the African continent can be called blacks.
They aren't African Americans, i.e., Blacks.
But to return tohistorical trends, as soon as the late 2030s, which are not so far away, the US polity, something which *emerged*, just as France and Germany emerged from historical priors and material facts of the Holy Roman Empire, will be majority non-White for the first time.
There is simply no historical prior—and we have lots and lots of history to read—for the physical, political, institutional, and financial *displacement* of peoples by others without immense turmoil.
Far greater turmoil than the egos some Mayflower sorts suffered in the 1970s.
Is she just a wacko? Well, she appears to be a very highly educated professional class woman in her 40s who is unmarried and childless. The exercise of diagnosing crazy is left to the reader. But there's something else:
Her comments are *institutional*. Naturally, Yale University fig leafs by saying "This is pretty embarassing. But we believe in free expression, so have a disclaimer".
And free speech, as we all know, is one of those ideals, one of the American ideas, that defines the US polity;
This is the territory on which the US polity—a project of law & governance, cultural norms & social niceties with legal, civil, and interpersonal understandings—is simply morally bankrupt.
How many Whites died in the military from the Revolution through #ArunaKhilanani 's birth?
That's a dangerous question to ask in the US polity.
I'm asking it as 'Indian Bronson' (a cutesy allusion to shared heritage with Aruna and Charles Bronson, a Lipka Tatar whose people integrated well in the Polish-Lithuanian Duchy), bc of potential professional & personal costs.
But it and others of its same moral valence, will and MUST be asked honestly, if not publicly for now, by everyone with US Citizenship—including those, ESPECIALLY those, who think racial politics is a tawdry third rail of inquiry;
They will define the coming American Century.

Dissident rightists, pseudonymous or not, run into this issue repeatedly. What Buchanan and Brimelow were saying *when it mattered* is mainstream in the GOP, but far too late. Even Charlie Kirk rips off Nick Fuentes (who is many carbon paper traces downstream of Larry Auster).
When there's a GOP campaign or a Republican in charge, rightists who aren't interested in Liberalism view this theft of vigor & semiotics as their ideas "getting traction". When Dems are in power and it happens, rightist dissidents screech about mimetic plagiarism. Pathetic. lol.
Almost all aesthetic signals get coopted from the unacceptable fringes where energy is, into the mainstream (laser eyes, wojacks, pepe, Very Online stuff) which desires their vigor
This is a fractally illustrative feature of decentralization, how "what's next" becomes status quo
Most secular values, that is, principles on which actions are taken or not to create, destroy, or sustain material realities, are post hoc rationalizations
Almost all your own conceptions of "the good" come FIRST as an aesthetic inclination, thereafter are articulated as values
Genuine spiritual values (mortification is people basically identifying the wrong ebd of this) are ones which are unchanging, universal, and do not serve petty material concerns—so they often impose great material penalties on their adherents.
In addition to NYers fun site design/cute artwork, this stood out:
"Two colleges in Pyongyang..often outperform American and Chinese colleges in the International Collegiate Programming Contest—a festival of **unsurpassed and joyful nerdery**."
there is a baseline of quantitative/logical knowhow that separates cognitively gifted people from the average—and a degree of grit, the ability to suffer with a purpose...and a canny, cunning nature, that separates the merely academically competent from real *killers*.
None of us are going to stop North Korea's cyber hackers. Again, ignore the news for what it is/The USA is over, etc. but look at this;
conservatives—a political species *only as old as WW2* keep opening a door labeled "FREE CANDY" are hit with a cattle prod and wail as it closes...they blink through the tears and greedily read:
Over time their generations; cohorts with as much proximity to the issue as you might get from being a young college republican to an elder statesman conservative organizer, die off/become unmotivated/make peace with loss
but, we can say biologically that to best avoid: severe birth defects, lower IQs, shorter lifespans, allergies, or straight up miscarriage/infertility, in general, most often, women should aim to have kids closer to 20 than 30
you know that whole 'holy shit lol @steak_umm is flexing on NDT' stuff? that drives significant interest to their product and personifies it with an upmarket yet irreverent position
strongest player in Brands Letting Hair Down arena
a human/s wrote the tweets, though
their corporate entity doesnt tell you who wrote it
not just to shield them from the potential retributive depredations of Neil de Grasse Tyson after dunking on him so hard (NDT leaves through the window..)
but also bc it *doesn't matter* for the actual project
