After describing his maternal grandparents as speaking Yiddish, from time to time, after immigrating to the US from their native Russia… Scott says that his grandparents made him feel… (wait for it!) “unwelcome” in doing so. Yikes. Many, many adults have ways of keeping certain subjects muted in front of smaller ears / called “tall talk”.
But Scott Johnson… even waxed paranoid, around his own grandparents. So it is a scant surprise that he is… paranoid about immigrants, generally.
He wrote this very morning that immigrants lack “our”(!?) values (a generalization, without any limiting descriptors — to include all in favor of wider immigration) — that they “mean to break down our inbred loyalties….”
I don’t even need to pause for a moment, to wonder who he feels his “our” people are, here.
I may easily surmise that answer. It is obvious.
But it is… deeply ironic — that he refers to himself… as “inbred“.
That is precisely why the diversity immigration brings… is desirable.
To avoid the problems of… inbreeding. And Scott’s time-after-time “reasoning” would suggest… he is indeed Exhibit A, for the proposition that there are real, deleterious effects, from… such inbreeding.
So…I’ll just laugh… at this embittered old loon.
