Cameron Crowe has caused a stir amongst the politically-correct crowd by casting Emma Stone in a role portraying a character of part Hawaiian, Chinese, and Swedish descent. Evidently "Asians and non-Asians alike asked why they didn't pick an Asian actress to play a character who is part-Asian". Once again we see the multiculturalists' real-world accuracy for me, not for thee attitude when it comes to the portrayal of race in popular culture.

The Genocidal Implications of Modern Leftism
Eye-catching title, no? Good, glad I have your attention, though if you are some kind of trans-POC/rainbow-kin social-justice-type that somehow managed to stumble upon this page, I suggest you stop reading now and click 'back', lest ye experience some serious triggering.
I've been mulling over this idea much of late, and I've come to the conclusion that there is an argument to be made that leftism (or progressivism, as it is now wont to call itself) has genocidal implications for Christian, European peoples (or white people, as they are generally known). Bold words, I know, but if you will be so kind as to bear with me through the rest of this essay you will hopefully see that it is not an entirely preposterous proposition.

New York Times Alters Headline to Fit Liberal Racial Narrative
Yesterday afternoon a friend brought to my attention an article on the New York Times website that was to be on the front page of today's paper. The piece was titled, "No Sharp Rise in Police Killings, Though Increased Focus May Suggest Otherwise". While this is blindingly obvious to anyone immune to The Narrative, my friend and I were pleasantly surprised that the New York Times would run such an honest piece. Could Baltimore have been the tipping point? Did the liberal leeches on Eighth Avenue actually feel a slight pang of guilt at their constant, racial rabble-rousing? Were they finally accepting the teeniest modicum of accountability for their role in spreading misinformation about Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and the like? Of course they bloody weren't.

A Few Random Reflections
Race riots on the streets of Baltimore. Fun times. Much like when the Occupy Wall Street cretins were occupying parts of my beloved Gotham, I cannot help but think back to a more civilized and noble age, and dream of a more civilized and noble response to such blatant sedition.

Sorry SJWs, But Sexual Orientation is Not Analogous to Race
While at this point in my life I have become accustomed to the staggering depths of intellectual dishonesty to which leftists will descend to make a point, I am still somewhat shocked by the ease with which so many of them claim that the contemporary drive to undermine the traditional family through the redefinition of ancient institutions and the toleration and normalization of sexual deviancy for LGBTMNOPQRSXYZ "rights" is analogous to blacks' struggle during the American Civil Rights Movement.

A Chorus of Caricature
If the early years of the second decade of the twenty-first century are to be remembered by political historians, they should be marked as the period in which the progressive left completed its spectacular descent into a complete and utter state of farce. The left has become a gross parody of itself; countless mainstream left-wing writers (and politicians and talking heads for that matter) peddle narratives and opinions so ridiculous that were a man of sound mind to encounter their screeds out of context he would be convinced he was reading a piece of conservative satire.

Refletions on the Race Racket Part II: The Great White Privilege
I still remember the first time I heard the term "white privilege". Though I can't recall the exact topic of the conversation that brought this concept to my attention, I can certainly remember my utter incredulity that such nonsense was, as my fellow conversant insisted, a "real thing", not to mention my horror that someone who I had hitherto assumed to be intelligent and sane could believe such blatant cultural marxist bunk.
In theory, "white privilege"' refers to the alleged inherent advantages afforded to white people by virtue of their being the dominant group in society (for the purposes of this article the society in question is the United States). A closer examination, however, reveals that these so-called privileges are not inherently tied to race, and certainly not privileges which every white person can expect to claim.

Reflections on the Race Racket Part I: Inconvenient Truths
Michael Brown. Ferguson. Race. Racism. Cops. These words have been hovering around for the last few months like a swarm of mosquitoes, draining the life out of the country's already-pitiful ability to have a meaningful conversation with itself.
I wanted this piece to be somewhat civil, I really did. I spent the longest four and a half minutes of my life trying to come up with some vaguely even-handed, even conciliatory, way of discussing such a divisive issue. But the truth is that I am fed up. I'm fed up with The Narrative the left propagates and their twisting every single negative thing that can conceivably happen to a black person into an issue of racism.
I'm fed up with their Orwellian abuse of language, having effectively redefined the word racism in order to continue accusing others of practicing it. I'm tired of their ludicrous theories about "latent racism" and "white privilege", and I'm tired of the culture they created: a culture in which the media acts as a lynch mob, blacks who don't vote Democrat are seen by other blacks as race traitors, and countless young whites across the country are ashamed of their own heritage. Most of all I'm tired of the blood-sucking charlatans who don't give a damn about dead black kids unless their killers are white.

Reflections on Ethno-Nationalism
There is much discussion amongst those on the alternative Right about race, nationalism, and tribalism. These issues are of crucial importance in the modern world. One cannot deny the unique influence of both race and ethnicity in shaping individual cultures and societies, and the more we learn about genetics and human biodiversity the more likely it appears that race and ethnicity may even be significantly important factors in individual human behaviour. However, whilst race and ethnicity are undeniably important factors in any community, relative homogeneity being arguably imperative for social cohesion, that does not mean that individual ethnic groups are or ought to be the only valid basis for state boundaries and political power.
