re: #112 twisty
As a white person with ancestors from at least 14 different countries I am confused that he seems to think most Americans are not already ‘mutts’…
he doesn’t realize that his ancestors, presumably from britain, were a motley conglomeration of celts, romans, saxons, danes, and normans, with a few italian dancing masters who had discreet affairs with wealthy young ladies thrown in
if he had sat at the table with vortigern, the civilized, christian, celtic chieftain of the year 448 who invited in the vulgar, uncivilized, pagan saxons hengist and horsa to help him out against his enemies, he would no doubt be highly concerned at the degradation of celtic briton civilization
brooks is too polite to draw the conclusions implicit in the word “mutts”, but his readers hear the dog whistle just the same and sound off like ivy league versions of freepers and klansmen
