Ethnic or racial discrimination, let alone charges of anti-Semitism, are viewed in postmodern Americanism as the ultimate intellectual sin.
But is not, after all, friendship also a form of the most subtle form of discrimination in view of the fact that an individual cannot be friends with all people on earth? One discriminates when mating and in sexual relationships, a point often made by prominent sociobiologists, but who are often targets of criticism by their liberal opponents. Long ago, an American author close to the school of thought dealing with sociobiology, Dr. William Shockley, wrote that those who persist in holding views of ethnic exclusion regarding heredity and race “are denied tenure and research funds, physically threatened, and shouted off platforms.” Similar views on human diversity, let alone public ostracism of academics who argue that race and heredity play a significant role in social and political behavior, have been legion in Europe and America. However, in the best of all worlds, in so-called free America, certain dogmatic views, particularly those regarding the sacred Jewish question and inherent goodness of non- European races, are imposed by force and must be accepted by all.
