The frustrating thing about Noah is he'll say things like this that simply aren't true at all. You can get data from the General Social Survey on self-reported ethnicity and political orientation; lo, English, Welsh and Scotch are among the most conservative. Image
This is pretty obvious from American political geography, with areas with more colonial American descent (the South, lower Midwest, Western rurals) tending to be much more Republican. Parts of New England are the most notable exception, but relatively low in population.
This analysis originally comes from Sean Last's blog here.

In 2022, the NYT and Pres. Obama released a 10 year retrospective on the Trayvon Martin case. Astoundingly, they used deceptively edited audio of Zimmerman's 911 call to imply he deemed Trayvon to be suspicious *because* he was black. Listen side by side for the difference. 🧵
What makes this so incredible is that NBC landed in hot water for broadcasting the exact same edit at the time, in 2012. Here's an except from reporting then, describing why the edit was deceptive. Image
That except is, of course, from the Times itself, which reported on the deceptive audio and its fallout.

It's not being appreciated just how radical Zohran's expressed views were just a short time ago, and how little he's addressed them. He had a full-on commitment to ending capitalism, defunding police, ending exam schools, "decarceration," and embracing racial conflict. 🧵 Image
This is a thread mostly of tweets, mostly a few years old. Zohran surely has changed in some ways with the political moment.

But I want you to think about the kind of person who says these things. Are they contemplative? Are they collaborative? Are they prone to conflict?
Zohran fervently advocated for defunding the police, an absurd and radical position, especially in one of the best-policed cities in America.

He only recanted years later under pressure in the last two weeks of the mayoral primary. Image

It boggles the mind that in the current epistemic environment the Times would choose to spend down credibility like this. Image

When the President and his movement lie constantly, it is important to present an alternative source of truth that is reliable, accessible and fair. Whenever the Times publishes a piece that misleads its readers or buries relevant info, they erode trust in that alternative.
The Times will very rarely outright lie. But, as in this piece, they will use language and framing to mislead, and push contrary information to the bottom of the article (while technically still including it).

A reader looking to quickly understand a new topic WILL be misled.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Leo XIV, seems to be descended from late 19th century immigrants from Italy and France on his father's side, and from Franco-Spanish Louisianan minor slaveholders on his mother's side. His grandfather is listed as mulatto, black, and white on censuses.
His grandfather seems to have been born in the American district of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on a trip his parents took from New Orleans. He was recorded as mulatto and then black in postwar Louisianan censuses, but then white after moving to Chicago. Fascinating American story.
As far as I can see, despite having family in what is now the US for at least two centuries from the present, he has zero Anglo-American/British Isles ancestors. Some forebearers moved to New Orleans from France and Cuba. Occupations include tailor, cigar-maker and watchmaker.
