@Samuel.
Haven’t the Germans been the largest or the second largest white ethnic group in America for quite some time?

Absolute rubbish. The English are readily distinguishable as separate from the Germans, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically, and as I said, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were founded by ENGLISH people, not Germans. You've misunderstood the meaning of the word "Germanic" in this context.

The six nations that have survived are those that have had the same territory under the same government system.

Then Norway should also be on the list.

From a philosophical standpoint, I’m not particularly impressed with the “point” he’s making. Many European nations lost their colonies between 1911 and 2009. Are these nations any less nations for having done so? Is Britain any less a nation for having given up Eire and its colonial empire? Is Germany any less a nation for having had its territory significantly rearranged three times since 1911? Not in my view.

The English are considered to be a Germanic people, English is a Germanic language.

And again, is there some profound point in noting that some “Germanic” nations have survived since 1911 with the same territory and form of government, when the Germans themselves did not do so, and neither did the English, if one ccepts the absurd classification of them as “a Germanic people”? Six “Germanic” countries survived from 1911 to the present day, but two of the most powerful “Germanic” nations (Germany and England) did not. What conclusion should we draw from this? None so far as I can tell.

Even though Tarl is unlikely to read this response I’ll answer his questions for future readers who might have the same questions.

Absolutely horrid. How can an educated man be “very happy” to see a country that had no links to 9/11 and no weapons of mass destruction “smashed up”? I’m an American mathematics graduate student of Assyrian descent (Iraqi Christians from the 1st century A.D.), and the educated Westward-looking Iraqis have been completely supplanted in Iraq by Iranian-backed Islamist parties. To spell it out, the “smashing” of Iraq has been absolutely disastrous for U.S. power abroad and political stability at home. John Derbyshire apparently puts the suffering of pro-Western peoples and the rise of radical Islam above American security and prosperity. John Derbyshire is a cruel traitor.

“You list the six nations (America, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden and New Zealand) out of 152 that existed in 1911 which have survived to the present day.”

What is this supposed to mean? There was no Britain, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, China, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Central American nations (Guatemala, Honduras etc), or Iran in 1911? Why did an English guy, Derbyshire, leave Britain off his list? What exactly is his argument, because I can’t believe it has been accurately represented here. If the real list is “nations that have had the same form of government since 1911″, that is a short list, but BRITAIN should also be on it.

“Notice they’re all countries founded by Germanic peoples.”

What???? NONE of those countries was FOUNDED by a Germanic people. In particular, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were founded by ENGLISH people.

What conclusion are we supposed to draw from the fact that the list of “Germanic” nations that existed in 1911 and today does NOT include, um, Germany? (Which in my world existed in 1911 and today, but whatever.)

Can you interview a race realist that is a wholesome and proud racialist of Northern European descent, and married to the same with children?

I get the impression that degenerate miscegenators like Derbyshire, Reed and Brand are typical of HBDers, narcissistic individualists with an Asian fetish that have no connection with their people.

So what’s their end game? Have a non-white minority population that they like to breed with and marry, eventually turning the whole population non-white. They already tried that in Latin America, didn’t work.

The use of non-NAM is silly, and obscure in his usage. Just say white people. As is the use of NAM minority, it’s redundant. I don’t like the use of minority anyway, they’re the majority of the world.

A dynamite interview that deserves to be widely read throughout the Stevosphere.

Mr. Derbyshire is one of the good guys…and so are you, Mr. Hoste.
