Jonah: That Samuel Huntington piece is fascinating. It seems to me it

could not have been published in a respectable magazine five years ago — at

any time, in fact, between around 1975 and 2000. Taken together with the

David Goodhart piece in the UK

, and the

furious opposition to our President’s Jan. 7 immigration proposal, I think

what we are seeing here is some major cracks opening up in the “diversity”

ideology.

In the case of the UK, there is less inhibition now in part because the

current wave of “strangers” are white Europeans from the old Iron Curtain

countries, so that it is hard for the liberal diversiphiles to shout

“racism” at those who just want to preserve a core national culture.
