Maybe people would like to read Ian de Silva's 2006 article where he complains about Liberals' bringing Third World citizens to the U.S and seems to defend the 1960's immigration laws that favored Western Europeans.

Seems like Mr. De Silva has a consistency problem.

Of course, there is a reason for such indifference and resentment. All the Founding Fathers were white men. So, the liberals in academia and media have a problem digesting the concept that a bunch of middle-aged white men could invent the world's greatest democracy. Many of these liberals, who have been educated beyond their intelligence, have so deluded themselves of the equal value of all cultures that they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that a small group consisting of just one sex from one race of one civilization - men, white, Western - could devise the universally attractive system that is the American democracy.
