The weirdest thing (well, one of them) is his complete ignorance of social history. It really was not that long ago that the Irish and Italians were considered different races, and intermarriage with any of them were seen as terrible mesalliances that would produce mongrels. Same as intermarriage between, say, the French and les Kaintucks. Our black-white two race construct in this country is pretty recent. And knowing what I do of Lousianans, I would put money down that he himself is a product of French-American or American Indian-white intermarriage from way back.
The sad thing is, he's probably getting slapped on the back by various fringe organizations, accompanied by blustery "hey, just telling it like it is!" nonsense. Peter is right, these people just need to die out, there's no educating them. Bye bye, dinosaurs and dodo birds.
