And why would we object to it? Why shouldn’t we favor whites who speak English? If it’s all right for Hispanics to want America to be more brown, why should it be wrong for Anglos to want America to be more white? It is entirely natural to prefer people of your own race and culture over others. Why is it wrong for white Americans to do so?

Where do you get this weird idea that whites should just quietly step aside and cede power and land to non-whites?
