Why don't YOU leave? I am not leaving. So sorry you can't handle the truth. If believing Pat Buchanan is a racist makes me a member of DU then SO BE IT.

In this article Buchanan indeed comes across as being racist. His comment/complaint that "White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling" bears that out.
His prefacing the word "American" with the word "white" indicates he isn't *only* concerned with culture. There are "non-white" Americans as culturally "American" as Pat Buchanan and other folks so concerned that their race attains/maintains dominance. In this respect little distinguishes Buchanan and his backers from the likes of members of La Raza.
Of course this is not to say Buchanan isn't correct about the wrongness of illegal immigration or the fact that immigrants aren't assimilating into traditional American culture as well as they used to. Next time he should simply focus on that. Leave skin color out of it.
