Negative Positive
Title: Very flawed logic
Review: Chittum obviously ignored the history of this country when he wrote this book. First off he engages in the kind of anti-immigrant sentiment that countless people have in the past, only he targets hispanic immigrants rather than the southern European immigrants of the late 19th century. He writes nothing of American Vernacular culture, which eventually breaks down all immigrant communities regardless of what race or ethnic group they are. Another thing I find irritating is the way he refers to New Mexico as a "mini third-world country", just because half of it's population is non-white. Overall this has failed to convince me of anything horrible happening in this country because of race or ethnicity. Also, for anyone who believes that Chittum is not a racist or right wing extremist, please take a look at his website.
Is the review positive or negative?
