Patriotism equals white supremacy?

On Mar 26, Nicholas De Genova, a professor of Latino Studies at Columbia University, declared at an anti-war rally that "patriotism equals white supremacy," and that he hoped for "a million Mogadishus."
Columbia University, after a public outcry, has distanced itself from the professor, saying it is shocked at De Genova's remarks. But the view that "patriotism equals white supremacy" is not exactly fringe in the Latino Studies departments on America's campuses. The view is, in fact, quite common.
In this case, even those at the rally were stunned into silence by the exceptionally graphic ugliness of the professor's comments, but his view is not that surprising given the politics of resentment and racial malice that pass for elevated thinking in large segments of the various ethnic studies departments of American academe.
What does this have to do with immigration? While that remarkable creation of Western Civilization, the University, continues to play host to blatant sedition (there is no other word for it) and venomous racial agitation, the current wave of mass immigration cannot be viewed by thoughtful Americans as other than an outright menace to the public good. While so many of our future leaders are nurtured on racial grievance and inculcated with a moral code founded on ethnicity and skin color, the current wave of mass immigration cannot honestly be viewed as a strength.
