I agree with Steyn.

I’ve always gotten the impression that Derbyshire is sort of like my college-age daughter who believes that the world ought to be a fair place. I totally agree with Steyn - there should never be a penalty for speaking the truth, because the ability to have the conversation is the most basic freedom we have. In a free market of ideas, the truth will always prevail, but when the truth is suppressed then the lies win out. NR is suppressing truths that badly need to be part of the conversation on race - I for one will avoid NR like the plague from now on.

Steyn is a brilliant writer and observer of our disintegrating western culture. Pretty much a hero to me for his talent. But I believe he's a coward on this topic.

When Mark leaves New Hampshire and clocks a few years in, say, east St. Louis, then I'll pay attention to his opinion on this most scary of all subjects.
