“Political Correctness—The Next Generation of Racists”

By William Spearshake. Forgive this short preamble. It’s often strange how one thing can lead to another by merest chance. I was actually researching website facts connected with the proposed drastic budget cut to the US space program when my eye was caught by the mention of another site (geekdad) which had an article about a new “reality” TV show in the US, similar to “Pawn Stars”, based on a real comic-book store and the collector’s items which come its way.

As a fan of comics since reading the first edition of “The Eagle” with Dan Dare in April 1950, I could not help glancing at the article, but there I also noticed a reference to another subject which I found doubly intriguing and which I believe to be absolutely relevant to all who are interested in nationalist policies, whether for or against.

 It would seem unlikely that many other readers of this website might have stumbled upon this story, since it is hidden away pretty thoroughly and I, at least, have never seen any reference to it in the British media.

So, discovered by the purest of chances, allow me to draw your attention to the article, which can be found here.

The article, by Jonathan Liu, is written from an anti-racism viewpoint and is titled: “How to Raise Racist Kids”, and it discusses some of the findings set out in a new book “Nurtureshock” by US authors Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, who capably demonstrate that just about everything which comes under the social umbrella of that “political correctness” so beloved by our rabid liberal movers and shakers is actually not only wrong, but that such political correctness very successfully accomplishes exactly the reverse of what it is supposed to achieve – the ingraining of fundamental racism within the perceptions of children from the earliest age.

The article explains that the book’s authors were surprised when they researched the situation regarding children and race.

Bearing in mind they are referring to the situation in the USA, they point out that the doctrinaire “politically correct” position taken by the majority of liberally-inclined parents – summed up as “don’t talk about race, don’t point out skin colour, be “colour blind” – far from encouraging an acceptance of racial equality, serves in reality to produce in children the fundamental belief, as the article puts it; “…that (insert your ethnicity here) is better than everybody else.”

Significantly, this racist psychological reaction is shown in the book to be brought about by liberally motivated parents. “…The attitude (at least of those who think racism is wrong) is generally that because we want our kids to be colour-blind, we don’t point out skin colour. We’ll say things like ‘everybody’s equal’ but find it hard to be more specific than that. If our kids point out someone who looks different, we shush them and tell them its rude to talk about it. We think that simply putting our kids in a diverse environment will teach them that diversity is natural and good.”

This, it seems, leads not to the utopian equality paradise that is the impossible fantasy of the liberal dreamers. Instead – as more pragmatic thinkers have been telling them for many years now – the article lists some of the by-products of “politically-correct” attitudes towards the issue of race, describing these results as “disappointing”, such as; “…The more diverse a school is, the less likely it is that kids will form cross-race friendships.”

Don’t tell the woolly liberals “we told you so”, but we told them so!
