Heritage Expert Contributed Articles On Hispanic Incarceration To ‘Nationalist’ Website

[arely staircase]

The Heritage Foundation's Jason Richwine, who co-authored the think tank's study claiming immigration reform will cost trillions of dollars, contributed two articles to a "nationalist" website about Hispanic incarceration rates, Yahoo News reported Thursday.

Richwine came under fire after the Washington Post reported Wednesday that his Harvard dissertation argued Hispanics have lower IQs than Caucasians and that the United States should screen immigrants based on their IQ scores.

According to Yahoo News, Richwine wrote two articles on "crime rates among Hispanics in the United States" for the site AlternativeRight.com, a website run by Richard Spencer, "a self-described 'nationalist' who writes frequently about race and against 'the abstract notion of human equality.'"

The website has published several controversial pieces about nationalism and race since Spencer founded it 3 years ago. Spencer is now the chairman of the Montana-based National Policy Institute, an organization that describes itself as a think tank for "White Americans."

1. "a think tank for White Americans"

sounds a lot like the Heritage Foundation.

2. I'm surprised nobody

has charged him with racism. Isn't it exactly what he is perpetuating behind his Harvard Degree? It sounds like something out of Mein Kamp. Is he insinuating Whites are a superior race?

5. I don't think he is insinuating Whites are superior;

I think he is pretty much saying it. And backing it up with junk science.
