Multicultural Rhetoric Echoes That of Hitler
- Share via
The Times’ sympathetic story on Leslie Silko (“Predicting a Revolt to Reclaim the Americas,” Jan. 13) is yet another gushy article about the trendy rise in Europhobia and distrust of Western culture.
The article’s sympathetic description of Silko’s book as “an angry indictment of the conquerors by the conquered, with a vengeful justice leveled at “European destroyers,” its reference to a “white ruling class” and its prediction of “the end of all things European” seemed strangely familiar. Then I remembered those were the kind of arguments Hitler used to incite hatred and distrust of the Jews.
The current multicultural movement uses such scare tactics with its anti-West fervor and politically correct attack on Europeans, holding them responsible for all problems of society.
