Hate speech

Peter Brimelow appeared on a panel discussing multiculturalism during CPAC 2012, Conservative Political Action Conference, and gave a talk titled "The Failure of multiculturalism: How the pursuit of diversity is weakening the American Identity." During the panel discussion, Brimelow and other panelists said "immigration is polluting America."

Brimelow, an immigrant from Great Britain, expresses his fear of the loss of America's white majority, blames non-white immigrants for social and economic problems and urges the Republican Party to give up on minority voters and focus on winning the white vote. He also said that "a New York City subway is the same as an Immigration and Naturalization Service waiting room."

Brimelow is the editor and founder of VDARE.com, a noted anti-immigration website that has been designated a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center because of its hateful messaging.

Brimelow said he's opposed to not only illegal immigration, but legal immigration too. He said it is creating a Spanish speaking underclass parallel to the African American underclass. He said "they are on welfare, they are not doing any kind of work - at least not legal work - and their

children are having a terrible time. They are dropping out of school, there is an increase in teenage pregnancy"

The irony is that Brimelow is an immigrant himself and indicated that he's even opposed to legal immigration. It looks like he hasn't considered self-deporting. The big problem for CPAC is that he is a noted racist, and his anti-diversity message was legitimized during a panel that was sponsored by ProEnglish, an organization advocating for English as the official language.

Al Cardenas, the Chairman of The American Conservative Union, the group who puts on the CPAC conference, is looking into the Brimelow brouhaha. He had recently penned a piece for Fox News Latino, stating, "Our job at CPAC is to broaden our message to all Americans - including Hispanics." However, Allowing Brimelow and his counterparts to talk about how Latino immigrants are completely dysfunctional does not convey "mi casa es su casa" very well to this growing population.

I think his beliefs are vile, dangerous. He definitely looks like racist. I think brimelow's speech was not appropriate because hate speech in public place can have a great ripple effect than anticipated.
