Here’s Wajahat Ali, an influential man of the Left (who, among other things, writes for the New York Times), informing white Americans that they should abandon any hope they may have had of preserving their worthless culture and homeland:
Well, there you have it! I have to admit that the honesty, at least, is refreshing; an open declaration of war is always preferable to gaslighting and subversion.
But a declaration of war it is, nevertheless. (If nothing else, saying “your music sucks” is “fighting words”.)
So: whither hence, Western man? The gauntlet is thrown.

I saw this yesterday, and it effectively ruined the rest of my afternoon.
I was literally seething.
I do appreciate the radical honesty, though.
That he believes, or wants to believe, that white women are jumping over white men into the arms of flabby South Asian men like himself is one of the most hilarious examples of psychological projection I’ve encountered in quite some time.
In reality, that this shabby little provocateur feels safe enough to express this vicious bigotry, knowing full well his position at the Times is secure, says more about how far we have fallen as a society than it does about him.
There are many millions of resentful locusts like Ali in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., and we had better remember how to be less welcoming, and more discriminating, or the lives of our children and grandchildren will be miserable indeed.
We have handed the keys to the kingdom to vicious foreigners who could never build a first world nation in their own ancestral lands, and now intend on turning our nations into the same cesspools they ran away from.
The writing is no longer on the wall… it is literally being spat in our faces, challenging us to respond.
It’s all so childish and immature, the worst sort of immigrant victim card playing. No doubt Mr. Ali has faced prejudice and pettiness in the New World, but from looking at his Facebook page he seems to have a rather nice life here, apparently a wife (a doctor!) and three children. Yet no gratitude there that I can perceive for a flawed but decent country that half the world would flee to tomorrow if given the opportunity. Just the usual grievances about Israel and Gaza and Islamophobia (nothing about the abuses of, say Hamas or Pakistani governance, needless to say) – a man living in the well-lit prison of narcissism and zero magnanimity.
Face-check: it seems that Mr. Ali is a 2nd generation immigrant, born in the Bay Area.
Jason-
I must really question why you would assume poor Mr. Ali has faced “prejudice and pettiness in the New World”.
Do you actually live in the U.S.?
You do realize it’s 2025, not 1950, right?
I’ve lived in NYC since 88′, and the only prejudice and pettiness the vast majority of new immigrants experience is from other POC, if they experience any at all.
I really find your assumption to be bewildering, to say the least.
Gentlemen, this is the intended result of Hart-Cellar. We don’t have to like it, but we have to do our best to deal with it as best we can. I am very pessimistic regarding our ability to develop a consensus which will permit effective action(s).
Another Dave, I do think prejudice continues to exist, and will always exist to a degree (contemplate the current popularity of Nick Fuentes, or his analogues on the Left). It’s hardwired into us; there will always be the desire to reject or accept others based on their religion, race, sex, creed. No, I don’t believe it’s nearly as pervasive now as in the Fifties, but is does raise its head now and again. I remember a devout Muslim Pakistani man during the first decade of the millennium, for instance, about whom co-workers would make jibes behind his back, something that rubbed this Houston-born Gen-Xer the wrong way. I can understand how Muslim citizens at this time might have felt they were walking on eggshells, wary of the stray remark made, the hostile look given. Alas, too many of them like Mr. Ali overreacted in the long run, failing to keep perspective and recognize the very good life they ultimately have here in America, all things considering.
It’s almost as if diversity really isn’t the highest imaginable blessing after all, and that people generally flourish more naturally among others like themselves.
Just to clarify Another Dave, I do think the temptation to judge by the color of the skin and not the content of an individual’s character exists within all of us, although naturally there’s a large variance within the American population regarding how this urge is acted upon. And yes, to allude to what you said, POC do things often that whites themselves would get crucified over. There is an uneven playing field out there, no doubt.
Note: I have sequestered a comment. I do this from time to time when comments are too long and turgid, or when they are screeds. (In particular, I remove them when they are screeds of an ancient, familiar type that reduces a complex historical topic to a binary polemic.)
