Is it wrong for me to talk about race? by Lawrence Auster

A reader writes:

When reading your blog, I am struck by the number of times you and others talk about the "white race" or a "white majority." You seem fixated on race.

However, the battle we are fighting has little to do with "race" and everything to do with "culture." For example, I am an Indian (ie non white). Yet I am also a traditionalist Catholic who believes very strongly in the superiority of Western traditions and culture. 99 percent of the whites I know are probably not even aware of their own cultural tradition. However, the constant fixation with the "white race" , would exclude me and other non-whites from being a traditionalist simply because of the colour of my skin.

Race is irrelevant. Culture is what matters. Whether a person is black or white, Hispanic or Asian, their adherence to traditional Western culture is paramount. At the moment, they are encouraged by liberals to hate Western traditions and celebrate their own cultural identity. But there is no reason why non-whites cannot be traditionalists or spearhead the Western traditionalist movement.
