If nothing else the responses to this thread were predictable. It’s just a coincidence that this guy, [Richard Spencer’s college buddy](http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/12/trumps-newest-senior-adviser-seen-ally-white-nationalists/), just happened to use a word that means one thing to white nationalists/nativists and reminds everyone else of a fashion magazine. It’s a coincidence, not a dog whistle. It’s a totally common expression in flyover country. That’s your story? Editing to add a quote from the linked article. > [@](#): > > Spencer told me that at Duke, Miller helped him with fundraising and promotion for an on-campus debate on immigration policy that Spencer organized in 2007, featuring influential white nationalist Peter Brimelow. Another former member of the Duke Conservative Union confirms that Miller and Spencer worked together on the event. At DCU meetings, according to a past president of the group, Miller denounced multiculturalism and expressed concerns that immigrants from non-European countries were not assimilating. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stephen-miller-and-cosmopolitan-bias/793040)._
