"It is the instinct which makes it so easy to impart life-long racist attitudes to young children, although the particulars of who is to be subject to that racism is culturally determined."
And then you go on to attack American southerners as violent racists. You seem to be obsessed with "racism." And only concerning whites, never other groups. Aside from that, you never examine quality of life, only quantity, issues.
Are you familiar with the crime rate of blacks in the US? Or is that the fault of pointy-hatted people too?
Do you understand that there are racial quotas, either formal or informal, favoring blacks vs. whites in the US in just about every industry and judicial practice?
Have you heard of the term oikophobia?
"Scruton uses the term as the antithesis of xenophobia.[10] In his book, Roger Scruton: Philosopher on Dover Beach, Mark Dooley describes oikophobia as centered within the Western academic establishment on "both the common culture of the West, and the old educational curriculum that sought to transmit its humane values." This disposition has grown out of, for example, the writings of Jacques Derrida and of Michel Foucault's "assault on 'bourgeois' society result[ing] in an 'anti-culture' that took direct aim at holy and sacred things, condemning and repudiating them as oppressive and power-ridden."[11]: 78 He continues:[11]: 83
"Derrida is a classic oikophobe in so far as he repudiates the longing for home that the Western theological, legal, and literary traditions satisfy ... Derrida's deconstruction seeks to block the path to this 'core experience' of membership, preferring instead a rootless existence founded 'upon nothing.'
"An extreme aversion to the sacred, and the thwarting of the connection of the sacred to the culture of the West is described as the underlying motif of oikophobia; and not the substitution of Christianity by another coherent system of belief. The paradox of the oikophobe seems to be that any opposition directed at the theological and cultural tradition of the West is to be encouraged even if it is "significantly more parochial, exclusivist, patriarchal, and ethnocentric."[11]: 78 Scruton describes "a chronic form of oikophobia [which] has spread through the American universities, in the guise of political correctness."[7]: 37 "
The writings of Thomas Nagel might expand on these ideas - they have for me. See a review of his book, Mind and Cosmos here

also by Nagel, The Last Word

Almost quoted Thomas Nagel too here.

Just some of them who wear those pointy hats.
