“Room For Debate” (But Not For Jared Taylor)

On May 22, the NYT ran one of their “Room for Debate” symposiums, this one on “Is Anti-White Bias a Problem?”

Debaters

• When Prejudice Is So Malleable

  Patricia J. Williams, professor, Columbia Law School

• Overt Vs. Covert

  David E. Bernstein, law professor, George Mason University

• White Folks Shouldn`t Worry

  Paul Butler, law professor, George Washington University

• An Old Source of Resentment

  Abigail Thernstrom, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

• Affirmative Action and Public Opinion

  Jeffrey Rosen, author, “The Most Democratic Branch”

• A Broader Societal Shift

  Victoria C. Plaut, U.C. Berkeley Law School

• Jockeying for Stigma

  Michael I. Norton, Harvard Business School and Samuel R. Sommers, psychologist, Tufts University

Notice anybody missing? Oh, yeah, the guy, Jared Taylor, who has a brand new book out on precisely this topic: White Identity: Racial Consciousness in the 21st Century. It`s quite likely, indeed, that the NYT`s topic was inspired in part or indirectly by Taylor`s book, which I reviewed 7 days earlier. (A lot of topics I bring up get quickly laundered into the high end blogosphere by Matthew Yglesias, among others.)
But, evidently, there`s no room for debate when it comes to Jared Taylor.
