‘Vanity Fair’ Breaks Taboo on Discussing Jewish Social Ascension and WASP Decline

This piece in Vanity Fair online is historic: it is an open discussion, in a glossy social column, of the social resentment among WASPs toward the new wealth, the Jews, and their gauche manners, in this instance the horrifying fact that Schwartzman is putting his name on the facade of the NYPL, something I decried weeks ago. The only writers to address this issue before are me, Scott McConnell, and Kevin MacDonald, though in MacDonald’s case it is interlarded with antisemitism.

This piece too is interlarded with antisemitism. The writer both echoes the antisemitism and condemns it at the same time. What is the answer? We should talk about it. A giant shift has taken place in the American establishment. Jews are principals in the Establishment now. This column is a great help. It suggests that the meritocracy has eroded old bars and discriminations. Alright, yes.

What it does not address are the absolutely necessary sequiturs: How much of political giving  now comes from Jews? Why is McCain thumping the Iran tub? Is that about money? When Obama says that McCain’s talk is about "domestic politics," is he speaking about Jewish wealth? What is the Jewish leadership’s agenda for the Middle East? Do Americans want Zionism on the facade of the Lincoln Memorial?
