ignores the most damning part of my reply”

“Hispanics and Crime”
Matt Yglesias, ThinkProgress (55 comments), March 6, 2010

The Bogus Hispanic Crime Wave
Alexander Cockburn, Counterpunch, March 5, 2010
“There are at least about 50 million Hispanics in America, and they’re
projected to become 25 percent of the total national population. Whether

future of America.”

More on the Hispanic-Crime Debate
John Derbyshire, National Review/NRO, March 5, 2010

Hispanic criminality. Rebuttals and counter-rebuttals have been bouncing

More on Hispanics and Crime
Jason Richwine, Alternative Right, March 4, 2010

“Unz is wrong when he says that Hispanics are no more criminal than
whites.”

The Unzism Debate – Around the Web
Matthew Roberts, Conservative Heritage Times, March 3, 2010
“Many on the open-borders left championed Unz’s article, noting that it
was published in a “conservative magazine”…More sober minds were not
so optimistic.”

Thoughts on Hispanic Crime
Richard Spencer, Alternative Right, March 3, 2010
“Demography is destiny, and the Latino demographic indicates that
Hispanics will be filling up the prisons and committing the lion’s share
crime in this country for decades and decades to come.

Reply to Unz
Steve Burton, What’s Wrong With the World, March 2, 2010

Ron Unz On Hispanic Crime: Nice Going, But So What?
Austin Bramwell, The American Conservative, March 1, 2010
“Given the disastrous consequences if Mr. Unz is wrong, immigration
proponents have the burden or proving with reasonable certainty that
immigration will not make Americans less safe.”

Chasing the Shadows
Editorial, The Waynesboro News Virginian, Feb. 28, 2010
“This mirrors the experience in Waynesboro, where despite the surge in
the ranks of Hispanics, one can’t help but notice the absence of
bloodthirsty gangs roaming the streets.”

Response to Rubenstein
Ron Unz, The American Conservative (85 comments), Feb. 26, 2010
“There are several strong caveats to Rubenstein’s finding.”

Ron Unz Vanishes Hispanic Criminality…Not!
Edward S. Rubenstein, VDare.com, Feb. 24, 2010
“Unfortunately, Unz’ analysis of the immigration/crime link suffers from
the same ambiguities and inconsistencies as those he (rightly)
dismisses.”

Immigration: Facts vs. Ideology
Ron Unz, The American Conservative (29 comments), Feb. 24, 2010

would devote so much space to such a blistering attack upon views
seemingly shared by nearly all of America’s historical leaders across
the last couple of centuries.”

Jorge Delgado, La Opinion (Spanish Language), Feb. 23, 2010

Unzism, A Dangerous Doctrine
Matthew Roberts and Steve Burton, Chronicles (56 comments), Feb. 22,
2010
“Why would Unz deliberately distort data to minimize the phenomenon of
Hispanic crime? Ideology remains a powerful force, and Unz’s
‘His-Panic’ fits into his overall vision of ‘Unzism.’

in the realm of violent crime.”

Exchange: Pollitt and Alexander Cockburn on the Hispanic Crime Rate
Alexander Cockburn, The Nation, Feb. 12, 2010

Pat Buchanan should devote its March cover and a substantial number of
pages to a persuasive assault on right-wing hysteria about the
supposedly astronomic crime rates of Hispanics in America.”

Ron Unz, Latinos, Liberals, and Scholarship
Katha Pollitt, The Nation/And Another Thing…, Feb. 11, 2010

lawlessness’

hard evidence to support the notion that Hispanics are more violent than
other segments of the population”
