Here is an interesting comment from Brett Bellmore.

A basic problem here is that you can, demonstrably, persuade people
that racial discrimination is a moral wrong. The general public has
arrived at that position, even if some of our governing elites haven’t yet.

And you can persuade people that racial discrimination is morally
right, at least if it’s against OTHER people, as Jim Crow demonstrated.

What has yet to be demonstrated is that you can persuade the
majority that racial discrimination against themselves is morally right.

Advocates of racial preferences, for whatever excuse, risk a partial
victory: Persuading the majority that racial discrimination isn’t wrong,
while failing to persuade them that it ought to be against themselves.

That’s not a place we want to return to, is it?

If they aren't already in Israel, Jews belong in England, France, and
Germany.

Pack them all up and get them on the way.

They belong in Madagasgar, as was suggested back in the 1930s.
