> I didn't read it as racist Trumpist white nationalist rhetoric but as specific commentary about race-based preferences in admissions combined with immigration.

When racist Trumpist white nationalist rhetoric gets distilled into desired policy, what else is there besides changes to race-based preferences in admissions & changes to immigration?

It seems like Andreessen supports Trump's entire racial platform, just not the rhetoric that Trump's MAGA base uses.



I think you're distilling too much if you lose the distinction between the people who don't want race-conscious admissions and the people who want to repeal the Civil Rights Act, even if the second group isn't getting their way.


Except Trump never supported repealing the Civil Rights Act, so you're trying to use a straw-man that's too extreme even for him.

Also, you're ignoring that Andreessen opposes immigration in addition to race-conscious admissions[0].
