You’ll notice that Dinesh mentions Jared Taylor in his article, whom he characterizes as a white nationalist. Yet Dinesh “borrowed” Taylor’s writing verbatim for his own book “The End of Racism”, so evidently Taylor’s ideas are only white nationalist if Taylor expresses them. They become mainstream conservatism and acceptable when Dinesh uses the same ideas without attribution.
Taylor and some others notified D’Souza’s publisher of his plagiarism and the first run of “The End of Racism” was recalled and pulped.
Here’s a bit of Jared Taylor’s memory of what Dinesh was doing:
“D`Souza actually went to comical lengths to cover any intellectual tracks that might lead to your servant. He simply had to cite an article I wrote for National Review (!!) about crime rates because, try as he might, he could find no one else who had ever made quite the same point. [May 16, 1994] In his citation, however, he violated his own bibliographic rules and failed to include the article`s author. He could not stand to mention my name even in a footnote.
“Whence this horror? D`Souza could not even admit he had cited one of my articles because he had decided to set me up in his book as Exhibit A in a gallery of “white racists”. He hoped to deflect the accusations of “racism” that were bound to come his way for writing a book that suggested—three years after mine did—that white oppression might not entirely account for the unfortunate state of blacks. It`s a contemptible tactic I have seen a hundred times: Someone who has edged off the reservation points to someone who has gone rather deeper into forbidden territory and shouts “racist, racist,” in the hope that the left will go baying after the real dissident, leaving the fake one unscathed.
“D`Souza got his comeuppance, however. His attempt to caricature me and others was such a childish fabrication, we had only to call it to the attention of his editor, who promptly ordered the entire first print run of the book destroyed, while D`Souza scrambled to make corrections. I still have my copy of the galleys, as proof of the rubbish he tried to peddle.
“Steve Sailer tells us that D`Souza is still up to his old tricks of filching people`s ideas without attribution. Bad habits die hard, it seems, and they go back a long way.
“I bet you will never guess who, in his days as a student journalist, managed such a scandalous mix of fiction and non-fiction that he earned the nick-name Distort D`Newsa.

Dinesh wants so badly to be “somebody.”
