“YNet, at least, is not intelligent enough to realize that Charles Murray is American, not British.”

Articles says:

“Murray said he regards himself as a Scotsman who came to Britain from Iowa ...”

Easy to miss, though.

“Murray said he regards himself as a Scotsman who came to Britain from Iowa and therefore is not afraid to broach and elaborate on the findings in his research.”

I interpreted that as a statement of ethnic pride, and a shot at what you can and can't say in the politically correct U.S. I assume (and hope, since it would be a significant loss) that he hasn't actually taken British citizenship, which is what it would take to be a "British social theorist."

Then again, maybe the author just meant "social theorist about Britain."
