My latest in PJ Media:
Hilaria Baldwin has been claiming to be Spanish for a decade, as Megan Fox details here (and Stephen Kruiser hilariously skewers here), but now that she has been outed as being the daughter of two old Boston families, she made the obligatory Maoist self-incrimination that our moral superiors demand. “I am a white girl. Let’s be very clear that Europe has a lot of white people in there.” But for all the ridicule Hilaria Baldwin is receiving, there is much more to this story than the foolish audacity of one attention-seeking white girl. It reveals an ominous trend in American society today: our society is so post-racial that it’s racial again.
Hilaria Baldwin’s statement that “Europe has a lot of white people in there” is odd. Did anyone actually doubt this? Europe is, after all, the ancestral home of white people. But Hilaria seems to be assuming that if she had really been born in Spain of Spanish parents, she would not be white. And clearly, that would have been far more preferable to her than her actual background. Still, it’s odd: Spanish-speaking people from the Americas may not be white, but Spaniards generally are. Did Hilaria Baldwin, in her haste to shed her white identity and take on one that was more exotic and socially acceptable, conflate Spain with Latin America?
In any case, Europe really does have a lot of white people in it, whether or not that white population includes the people of Spain, and that’s so much the worse for Europe. It is now acceptable on the Left to despise white people as a group. Search through the Twitter feeds of The Washington Post’s Karen Attiah or activist Shaun King and you’ll see statements about “white people” in the aggregate that would result in firing and ostracism if they were said about any other race. All this has given rise to the recrudescence of one of the most shameful phenomena in American history – claiming to be of a different race in order to escape social opprobrium, as Hilaria Baldwin herself exemplifies.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Having been to spain, and talking to a local who noted that I was as brown as them, I said but if I lift my shirt up,you will see that I am white, with that he lifted his shirt up,and he was as white as I.
So spanish are white.
I have been to the same place about 18 times, so have gotten to know people,and they me, we get along fine.
How ever, I do tend to avoid brits abroad, because their behaviour in some one else’s country is disgusting, (some are well behaved like me ) which as a brit I find embarrassing.

Brando says
Spaniards are definitely White,and so are the Portuguese,and Most have BROWN hair and eyes.
REGARDING SOUTH AMERICA
It has 400 MILLION of which:
1.Some 200 million speaks Portuguese,the other Spanish ( except in the 3 GUYANAS ( British and French Guyana and Surinam( before called Dutch Guyana).
2.And the racial component is:
a) 40% White: 160 million,mostly descended from 11 MILLION European immigrants (late 19th to early 20th century)
(95% of which were Spaniards,Portuguese and Italians ). For example,today’s POPE Francis, he was born in South America,but his parents were from ITALY.
b) 10% Amerindian
c) 5% Black
d) 45% Every Possible Combination of Black and White,Amerindian and White , and Black-White-Amerindian.
ALMOST ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
1. PUSHKIN, the Greatest Poet of RUSSIA, had,as one of his grandfathers, an ex-slave from AFRICA.
2.And one of the greatest poets in Spanish,born in Peru,was CESAR VALLEJO ( 1892 – 1938),and BOTH his GRANDFATHERS were
priests from SPAIN and Both his grandmothers were Amerindian women.
3.One of the most famous philosophers in the US,the one who said:
“Those who FORGET the PAST are doomed to REPEAT it”

I agree to some extent being British myself, I too have lived abroad for many years, mostly in Asia. I usually avoid being in the company of Europeans not because I find their behaviour obnoxious, I have met many nice Europeans believe it or not; but because I do not think it of any benefit to my experience to associate with Europeans when I am in Asia. I want to be with the people of the country in which I am currently resident. I support BREXIT not because I am anti Europeans but because I am anti the totalitarian , corrupt and wasteful European Union.
mortimer says
What ‘RACE’ is a Spaniard? Iberian? What is that? There are many races living in Spain. What ‘RACE’ is an HISPANIC person? There are people of ALL RACES that will self-identify as Hispanic.
I speak Spanish … I have some Iberian ancestry way, way back. Am I ‘Hispanic’ too?

gypsies are probably not white. They have given (and still do) Spain one of its most iconic cultural artefacts: Flamenco. My favourite place in Spain is Jerez. Standing in a tabanco, sipping a fino en rama and listening to a buleria is one of the most amazing experiences. Gitanos rule in Andalucia!

Greece = a large peninsula projecting into the Mediterranean where the native people are white, Caucasian.
Italy = a large peninsula projecting into the Mediterranean where the native people are white, Caucasian.
Iberia = a large peninsula projecting into the Mediterranean where the native people are, to confused white liberals in North America, not white, not Caucasian.
Demetrio says
Caucasian–what a ridiculous term.
j_not_a says
Really, how so? There are hundreds of ethnicities but only three races – caucasoid, negroid and mongoloid.
Don Ameche says
Upvote .. :- )
John Flaherty says
I’m not following why this would be considered a ridiculous term.
The term “Caucasian” originally referred to light-skinned persons from the Caucasus region. It’s southwest of Russia, northeast of Turkey. Very close to Asia, yet not part of it. Cultural mingling helped bring about a fairly distinctive people, both by skin color and cultural norms.
It’s true enough the term has stretched to encompass almost anyone from Europe; that’s mostly because there is a greater noticeable difference between persons. Those who hail from Germany or Spain will differ considerably from each other; they still will differ from each other less than either would differ from, say, a Libyan or Egyptian.
Thus, even as they all share human dignity, the differing terms have developed to distinguish one from another.
gravenimage says
Demetrio is pretty much a troll here.
william carr says
Hilaria is hilarious (excuse the pun) and also stupid and ignorant. Anyone who knows history, knows that Spain has always been a purely European country, except for the Moose Limb occupation of the peninsula in the Middle Ages ending in 1492. Many migrations from what is now Eastern Europe ended up on the peninsula.
It is however possible that there is some “adulteration” due to Moose Limbs taking white wives as well as fathering children with slave girls, prostitutes etc.
Myself, have found that a small part of my DNA is Iberian. Very few of us is pure anything when Roman stationed in Britain when it was part of the Roman Empire. (The Roman Army had soldiers of many ethnicities) or less romantically a trader; there was a lot of sea trade between the Iberians and Britain.
william carr says
Sorry somethin hot lost there. It should read:

Infidel says
In my last job at Macys, I had Latin American co-workers and customers who’d usually reference any Spanish speaking person as a Spanish person. Which always sounded weird, given that none of them were actually from Spain: it was usually from countries like Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and our very own Puerto Rico. It would be like calling most of us who post here in English, as English, even though few of us are actually from England
gravenimage says
When I was a small child, most Spanish-speaking people in the US were referred to as “Spanish”, but during the 1970s this fell out of use in favor of “Chicano” (now often “Hispanic” or the sometimes controversial “Latin-X”).
Demetrio says
Indeed. As always, Americans are confused about race. Spanish speakers call themselves by their country of origin. Hispanic, latin, latinx (hideous) etc. are impositions by the American government. There’s a movement among middle easterners in the US who object to being bunched together by the government as Arab (some aren’t, like Iranians).
Infidel says
That’s true. But ethnicity is sometimes convenient if one can’t be sure of their national origins. While I’m sure they can tell it pretty easily, I can’t quite tell a Mexican from an Argentine from a Colombian. Nor can I tell a Moroccan from an Egyptian from an Emirati.
I do pride myself at being somewhat able to guess whether someone is speaking Chinese, Korean or Japanese ?
John Flaherty says
Even some of that isn’t entirely accurate. I’ve heard of Latin American peoples referring to themselves as “American”, yet have no desire to even recognize the existence of the United States.
Infidel says
No, when they say ‘America’, they mean the 2 continents – North and South America. They don’t accept the terminology of USA == America
John Flaherty says
Precisely my point. Infidel. Demetrio declared that Americans are always confused about race, indicating that Hispanics refer themselves by nationality. I pointed out that this is incorrect, as many Hispanics evidently cannot have pride in their own home nations’ cultures, instead appropriating “American” themselves, so the term could mean anyone from the Western Hemisphere. By doing so, they render the term almost useless and detract a little from the United States.
If anyone might be confused, …it’s not the Americans, the US citizenry.
gravenimage says
Actually, Demetrio’s implication that nationality is always the same as ethnicity is simply mistaken. You would not know the race of someone simly calling themselves American. And even with a nation like Mexico, someone may be almost purely Spanish, purely Indio, or a mix of the two.
Some in the US do indeed call themselves, say, Mexican-American or Honduran-American, but I know many who do indeed use the terms Chicano or Hispanic or even “LatinX”. The idea that the American goverment is somehow forcing its citizens to use these terms is mistaken.
Then, the US on the Census does not use the designation “Arab”–in fact, many from the Middle East are pushing just that:

RichardL says
the Spanish refer to people from South and Central America as Latinos.
Infidel says
Difference b/w Hispanics and Latinos: Hispanics is the big subset of Latinos. Brazilians ain’t Hispanic, since their language and colonial heritage is Portugese, but they are Latinos all right
James Lincoln says
In the mid-1990s, I spent fair amount of time in Naval Station Rota, Spain.
I frequented the local area, including the beaches, and all the people that I ran into were Caucasian – with brown hair and brown eyes…
Demetrio says
Why do American call whites Caucasian? It’s a ridiculous designation.
RichardL says
Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid are classic terms in anthropology, Demetrio.
James Lincoln says
Demetrio,
I’m just using the Merriam-Webster definition of Caucasian:
“…of or relating to a group of people having European ancestry, classified according to physical traits (such as light skin pigmentation)…
John Flaherty says
Most of us who’re obviously not black or hispanic have caucasian origin. That is, our ancestors have mostly light-colored skin and have somewhat more in common culturally with each other than we do with those of Arabic, Asian, African, Oriental, or tribal groups. Thus the term.

Wellington says
We are entering a new Jim Crow era and the “inferior” race is white. Not only is this stupid and racist, it is also hypocritical because non-white humans, whether American Indians, blacks, Asians, etc. have all engaged in wrongs and atrocities of many kinds as well. We live in an age, the Age of Nonsense as I call it, whereby the truth is often not sought, indeed sometimes it is the new hate speech, but where false agendas are pursued with relish and venom all the while masquerading as truth.
And here is something I think is most certainly true, as I first heard it from radio talk show host and author, Dennis Prager. Here it is and just imagine the rise this would get if said on virtually any college campus, in any newsroom, on the floor of the Senate or House, in Hollywood, etc.: Never in human history has one race over the course of some half century done so much for another race as the whites in America have done for the blacks in America since the second civil rights era in American history began in the 1950’s.
Blacks suffered terribly in previous eras of American history and one knows this or should know it. No excuses will do. But the attempt to correct these wrongs against blacks (and other non-whites) for over half a century now has no parallel anywhere in history that I know of regarding one race doing so much for another race. There, said it, stand by it, and just imagine once again how this would be received by the woke and ignorant (excuse the partial redundancy) of which there are far too many.
Infidel says
Wellington, I once heard Rush Limbaugh echo an argument my dad made in a different context (Rush was talking about race based affirmative action, while my dad was talking about caste based quotas in India: principle was the same – have quotas for the ‘downtrodden’ groups in question).
The question both asked was: ‘At what point does one declare that the experiment is a success, and is no longer needed?’
Somehow, the woke class’s definition of ‘justice’ is payback, and looks like it won’t be done until the number of whites wronged equals the number of ‘people of color’ (one of the stupidest phrases I ever heard, since even white is a color) wronged. Except no one seems to be keeping a count of the tally
I just hope that we’re going thru a phase, the end of which is marked by the abolition of all educational institutions, which have been a major failure in preparing people for the workforce, and instead turns out the most worthless citizens one can imagine
Former Democrat says
In broward county, the Native Americans are given tax free incomes and homes I believe. What I witnessed is that there is less incentive for them to achieve. And this is yet another paradigm for why handouts de-incentivize motivation to achieve wealth.
Yes atrocities were done in the name of Christianity but ultimately the good won out. Today, Christianity stands for peace among other good, Godly values. In the past, Jews were hunted down by Christians and look how today’s Christians are one of Israel’s staunchest supporters unlike many secular Jews who stop at nothing to assist in the destruction of Israel.
The word of G-d is the only thing that will save this country. It looks like the end is near but hopefully a miracle will happen and show the atheists the truth, the light of Torah.
wpm says
Slavery was alive and well establish in the new world before Europeans arrived by “Native Americans” in what would become later North South and Central America .Native ” Americans ” in the areas that would become Mexico and central America would cannibalize large number of captured enemy tribes in religious masses to their gods with no influence from Europeans. Slavery was practice in Africa, Asia , North South ,Central ,America, and yes Europe before Europeans began to explore those lands. Cannibalism was a common practice in the South Pacific before Europeans set foot any where near them. The ‘old world order’ was a bloody violent affair with tribes in every corner of the earth some white ,some black ,some Asian fighting and enslaving, killing ,raping, stealing from each other. Modern nation building ,the ending of the tribal nations ,the ending of violent religious practices (except for the religion of Islam) has made the world a safer place then it was 1400 years ago or 3000 years ago. America and Europe did away with slavery before much of the tribal world did ,over 160 tears ago .
rooare says
wpm, you’re confusing people by presenting real history bc real history doesn’t fit the woke narrative. But I find it quite refreshing, thanks.
Infidel says
Shastra, the minority reservations that you refer to in India is there in the US by another name – affirmative action. The idea is the same – reservation quotas for the formerly oppressed groups. India has it for backward castes, the US has it mainly for Blacks. Something tells me that you’re not a fan of quotas in India (feel free to correct me on this), in which case, you have no business criticizing those of us here who oppose it here
India’s solution to this is bizarre: instead of having a target date when everything will be on merit and merit alone, they’ve now included Brahmins in the list of groups that have quotas, so that no one is excluded. That’s a horrible solution: the better one would be to phase out quotas altogether, and focus on people, independent of caste, who need support coming out of poverty and social marginalization

Re: a statement by Dennis Prager:
“Never in human history has one race over the course of some half century done so much for another race as the whites in America have done for the blacks in America since the second civil rights era in American history began in the 1950’s.”
This is objectively a 100% true statement.
Black conservators, such as Dr. Ben Carson, Candace Owens, etc., fully recognize the accuracy of Mr. Prager’s statement.
Militant Democrats, of all skin tones, refuse to recognize the obvious…
Wellington says
Just to add to this, James, I vigorously and unambiguously assert that the greatest enemy of black America is black America. I wish black America well, but black America is afflicted by many social and lethal pathologies of their own making. These include both massive out-of-wedlock birth, over 70%, and which is a prescription for suicidal suicide, and young black males killing young black males in HUGE amounts year in and year out. Continuing to rely on the decrepit Democratic Party, which keeps large amounts of American blacks on the Democratic Plantation, is yet another problem and which problem black conservatives are aware of only too well.
There also are statistics, per the FBI, that a policeman in America is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a young black male than the other way around (and many of the policemen so killed were themselves black) and that since 1975 killings of blacks by police have gone down 75%—this figure comes from the CDC. Black conservatives like Larry Elder regularly mention such statistics but so many deficient people tune out a person like Elder—a loss all around.
Of course, for woke people, those determined to see victims everywhere, even be victims themselves no matter what the truth of the matter is to the contrary, none of these facts I cited above are of any importance because we live in an “agenda-time” and where truth is optional if even that. No doubt about it—wokeness and agendas go hand-in-hand.
Enough. I ran two and half miles today and it is time for a beer—maybe two. Gotta’ enjoy the simple things in life, which are the best things, though I do wish America was in a healthier state than it is. Better for America, for the West, for all the world were this the case. And now Joe Biden is “coming in.” Good God. Well, as I said time for a beer. Take good care, pal.

Learn history, Shastra. American Indians were brutal to one another (and to whites). Hurons would skin their fellow Indian captives inch by inch, a horrible, long-drawn out death. Aztec priests offered up human victims to their gods by the tens of thousands and wore capes made out of human skin and tyrannized fellow Indian tribes in the most barbaric fashion. Did you know that American Indians had an extensive black slave system? For example, the Five Civilized Tribes in what is now Oklahoma joined the Confederacy in large part in order to keep their black slaves. The last Confederate general to surrender to Union troops was General Stand Watie, a Cherokee chieftain. Do you know any of this? Did you know that in 1830 almost 4,000 free blacks owned almost 13,000 black slaves, especially in North and South Carolina? That number of black slaves held by free blacks rose to 20,000 by 1860.
As Raymond Ibrahim has detailed, white women were taken as slaves by the Islamic world and this went on for centuries, including participation by black Muslims. Asian atrocities of all kinds occurred over the centuries and millennia. Japanese treatment of non-Japanese, including fellow Asians, was barbaric in the extreme. Have you not heard of the Rape of Nanking? What the Japanese did to the Philipinnos (this included gouging out babies’ eyes as detailed by William Manchester in his biography of General Douglas MacArthur, American Caesar) was appalling. How about the Japanese treatment of Korean females as “comfort women? The Bataan Death March?
Sub-Saharan African tribes enslaved one another en masse and sold fellow blacks into slavery. Pygmies were eaten because they were thought to bring magical powers (this has been very recent). Look at what happened just back in 1994 in Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsi. What about suttee in India being put an end to by the British? How about the West enslaving some 13 million blacks but the Islamic world enslaving some 120,000,000 blacks AND Muslim slave traders castrated the black male slaves? And on and on. Or are you only interested in blaming the West? Seems like you are a classic case of a woke, ignorant person in pursuit of an agenda and not the truth.
Most every people have thought of themselves as superior. The Chinese referred to their polity as the Middle Kingdom, all the rest of the world revolved around China, and thought themselves superior to all. The Sioux in their own language called themselves the “human beings,” implying that all others were somehow less than human. The Japanese thought of themselves as the only divine race. And remember, it was the West that first realized slavery was wrong, took many measures to end it and has promoted freedom, including for women, such as no other civilization comes close to having done. The West has also demonstrated a capacity to apologize for its wrongdoings. When have the American Indians, the Islamic world, the Asian world, the sub-Saharan African world apologized for its many wrongdoings?
Wake the hell up, Shastra. That is if you are able, which I highly doubt.

There were both Hindu and Buddhist conquests in Asia. The Chinese attempted Empire several times…. the Mongols come to mind ( several times) the Huns from upper northeast Asia. American indians decimated their own people many many times. What we know as the Lakota Sioux tribes were a ruthless bunch who wiped out the other Plains tribes before any white person ever got there. After taming horses they became like America’s mongols.
Asian people have caused many genocides and sent many missionaries. As another example is the Ainu in Japan who used to be the native people there…. wiped out by various methods by the Japanese.
Selective history is harmful and bad history.

Does a people have need to commit genocide to be sinful? Tribal groups warred with each other since well before the “paleface” arrived. As for colonial theories and the like, I think you’ll find the tribal groups’ versions of various events…favor them every bit as much as the white versions favor whites. Every human being understands how to use euphemistic terms to both minimize their own culpability and maximize the others’ error.
…There are none but sinners here.
‘Course there’s also the problem of who defines “sin” and how.
I think most secularists might be shocked by what likely would ensue if their full wish to drive Christianity–especially Catholicism–from the public square fully succeeded. I don’t think most secular voices have even the beginning of any idea of how much influence the Ten Commandments have on this nation.

Hilaria/Hillary/whatever reflects the typical confusion most Americans have about race. Often, this involves equating race with nationality, or race with religion or race with culture. In many parts of the worlds, races are not seen in black and white terms (pun intended) as in the US (exceptions are China, Japan and some others). Having being born in Latin America (and being as white as you can be), I find it ridiculous the notion that having just a drop of black, Asian or whatever makes you a member of that race regardless of your appearance. In Latin America, appearance is the determining factor. If, say, your ancestors include a motley of whites, indians, blacks, etc., but you came out looking white, then that’s what you are. White. If you came out black; you are black, etc.

I had a dream…that at some point in society, race would no longer be an issue and we all could just get along fine…and see each other as humans in the first place. Would have been so nice.

Good reasons to be, too. Not my fault, that Bach, Goethe, Heisenberg, Benz and Tesla were white Europeans.

@Wellington. Thank you for your interesting comment. You write: “We live in an age, the Age of Nonsense”. It is worse than that. We are living in the age of (hidden) viciousness. the truth is often not sought, because truth doesn’t suit the purposes and goals of the “righteous brothers”, who use now hate speech against whites. They had adopted the Roman system of: Separate and Rule. Hilaria Baldwin (who’s obviously not hilarious) doesn’t even imagine, she is serving monsters who use false agendas with relish and venom to forward their interests. In reality they are totally indifferent to racial issues, human rights or even humanity itself. You can compare them with the vampires from the movie Blade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1ShOWXScW0 Hate against whites is big issue now. Move fast, and break things! (quote: Mark Zuckerberg). It is true that non-white humans, whether American Indians, blacks, Asians, etc. were all engaged in all possible wrongs and atrocities. As for atrocities against black are the American whites a number too small comparing to Arabs and other Muslims. They are in Sahel countries, as Mauritania, still engaged in slavery of African blacks. There are lot of rumours on slave markets in Libya https://time.com/5042560/libya-slave-trade/ How vicious is the Muslim slave trade and the attitude of Islam toward slavery, read here: https://www.dw.com/en/east-africas-forgotten-slave-trade/a-50126759 To know more about Islamic atrocities against black slaves https://www.fairplanet.org/dossier/beyond-slavery/forgotten-slavery-the-arab-muslim-slave-trade/ Slaves who arrived in the southern states of US were not confronted, or not often confronted, with cruelty that can be matched with the Islamic one. A slave was a very expensive purchase, so the master had done his best to hold him in good shape. It is also true that never in human history has one race over the course of some half century done so much for another race as the whites in America have done for the blacks in America since the second civil rights era of the 1950’s.

The Nation has been taken through “Identity Hilarity” before; the most famous metamorphosis being Barrack Obama (who gave us the Obamanation of America). His mother was white, and his father was an Arab from the Mid-East. Their child claimed to be a Negro (titled: African American).
This Country is so insecure and confused, it is doubtful it could find its way out of a paper bag.
Richard says
I really fail to understand why so many people claim Obama’s father was Arab. Let alone that his father was most likely Frank Marshall Davis, Obama Senior was a black African of the Luo tribe in Kenya. His family had the imprint of Islam upon it for perhaps two or three generations for the usual reason, to avoid being killed.

Racism is over hyped. It’s how you act, live and treat others that makes the difference. I don’t care what shade your skin is, I care about your character, your respect for others and their property and your contribution to society. If you look like or are a gang banger drug dealer or destroy the neighborhood you are not going to be accepted by me and you overall hurt all other members of your ethnic group.
As far as Hilaria she is just looking for the media coverage, and represents what’s wrong with Hollywood and the media.
