I couldn’t agree more with everything Rand has written in this excerpt, except with her claim that people “boasting” about the successes of their ancestors or relatives is an example of racism.

I’m not sure she meant to say that was “racism” per se. I took it to mean that she was offended by idiots who take personal pride in the achievements of their ancestors, or relatives, as if the achievements of these other people, somehow reflected on them. She was obviously very offended by anyone taking credit for something they had no right to take credit for.
