A Collection of Interesting, Important, and Controversial Perspectives Largely Excluded from the American Mainstream Media

Major Race/Ethnicity Articles

Over the last quarter-century I’ve published hundreds of thousands of words on issues relating to race, ethnicity, and social policy, and for reader convenience I’ve providing a listing of the most substantial of these articles, totaling more than 200,000 words.

Despite the enormous political and ideological upheavals across all these years, I’d still stand behind virtually everything I’ve written.

All my more substantial Race/Ethnicity articles from the last quarter century have been published under the title The Myth of American Meritocracy and Other Essays, which also includes many of my articles in areas of Economics, Politics, Foreign Policy, and Classical History. The total collection runs more than 300,000 words, and has been conveniently made available as a freely downloadable eBook, both in Mobi/Kindle⬇ and ePub⬇ formats, with the Table of Contents available here.

Race and Ethnicity in America
Articles on Immigration, Affirmative Action, and Bilingual Education, 490pp, $22.99

To the Memory of Nathan Glazer,
Who Resurrected American Ethnic Sociology

Throughout American history, issues involving race and ethnicity have been among the most important and the most challenging. Their potentially explosive nature has deterred many journalists or academics from addressing them in candid fashion, and the resulting vacuum has often been filled by serious misinformation.

For nearly thirty years, these subjects have been a major focus of my own writings, including such topics as immigration, affirmative action, and bilingual education, and many of my articles are collected in this book.

American Meritocracy Revisited
Elite Admissions, Asian Quotas, and the Free Harvard/Fair Harvard Campaign, 336pp, $19.99

For Ralph Nader, Steve Hsu, Stuart Taylor, and Lee Cheng,
We Tried Our Best

Over the last two generations, Affirmative Action policies based upon race have become a centerpiece of American society, heavily influencing the academic admissions policies that shape our country’s ruling elites. The leaders of our top educational institutions have always defended themselves against legal challenges by claiming that they are promoting the twin goals of meritocracy and diversity while avoiding the use of illegal quotas.

However, ten years ago I published a comprehensive ethnic analysis of our top American universities, statistically demonstrating the corrupt and biased aspects of their admissions system, which provided very strong evidence of an implicit Asian Quota. The widespread resulting media coverage launched a series of lawsuits and these cases have now finally reached the Supreme Court. Some observers believe the justices may be poised to overturn a half-century of legal precedent and ban the use of racial preferences.

Six years ago, I also organized an insurgent campaign for the Harvard Board of Overseers. Headlined by Ralph Nader, our Free Harvard/Fair Harvard slate of candidates would have required admissions transparency and abolished college tuition at the world’s most prestigious university. The national consequences for American higher education would have been enormous, but our effort fell short.

My own extensive writings on these issues of meritocracy and our 2016 Harvard campaign are collected together in this book.
