In college I learned a different but I guess related theory having to do with “marginal whites.” The idea was that racial conflict with blacks would be expected from those whites closest to them in economic status. The implication for us, which Steve Sailer has recently explained more thoroughly, was that the way for a young white upper middle class aspirant to begin playing that role was to appear unconcerned with such matters as affirmative action and street crime. And later I would find in the case of one boss that the way for the white success story to reinforce his achievement was to fund minority scholarships, all the while engaging in reverse affirmative action by renouncing any nepotism for his own family or friends. What made this sort of idea especially effective is that it was packaged to appeal to people like me who weren’t all that interested in ideas, but were very interested in our getting ahead.
