I knew about Derbyshire because I was still going to NR at that time. I had read the article in question and thought it just a parody of something a black LA Times reporter had written about the "talk" she gave to her son. Well, NR immediately fired him, pretty sure the LA Times kept the fellow who wrote a very offensive article basically saying that minority (black) kids have to be warned about those evil white folks.

Anyway, I stopped going to NR immediately, and we did not renew our subscription to NR magazine. Haven't returned since.

I was not aware, however, that Mark Steyn had gotten the same treatment. What did he write that got him booted?
