English For The Children’s Ron Unz Comments On Joe Guzzardi
[VDARE.COM note: After two articles bashing Opinion Journal’s James Taranto — see The Tarantoad Beneath The Harrow and Stomping The Tarantoad (Again) — we were going to go back to our usual targets (Jonah Goldberg, Michael Barone, the President y el Presidente, the Congress, that unpatriotic ex-Marine Raoul Lowery Contreras, the Wall Street Journal in general). But we got this excellent letter, which we have to publish on its literary merits. So it’s Not Our Fault.]
From: Ron Kyser
Here are the 1990 demographics of the ZIP code the NY White Pages gives for Mr. Taranto’s home address:
Asian 3.7%
Black 4.5%
Hispanic 7.8%
White 83.8%
Compare this to the ZIP immediately to the north, 10029:
Asian 2.2%
Black 33.5%
Hispanic 54.6%
White 9.0%
The 2000 figures don’t appear to be ready, but knowing Manhattan’s rental market, there probably hasn’t been much turnover, let alone change [VDARE.COM Note: Our research department found them here]. So here’s a classic case of "Chappaquism" — celebrating diversity at a distance.
