Judicial nominee pulled because of opposition to ‘multiculturalism’

American Thinker: President Trump was forced to pull the nomination of Ryan Bounds for a federal circuit judgeship on the Ninth Circuit because of the judge’s writings decades ago against so-called “multiculturalism” while a student at Stanford.  GOP senators Tim Scott and Marco Rubio objected to the nominee’s writings.

The Senate’s only black Republican, Tim Scott of South Carolina, had concerns about those writings and Mr. Bounds’s inability to clarify how his thinking had changed since then, according to a Senate Republican aide.  At least one other Republican, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, agreed to join Mr. Scott in opposition to Mr. Bounds’s nomination, according to another Republican aide.

Let’s look at some of Bounds’s writings:

In one of his Stanford articles, Bounds described a phenomenon he called “race-think,” in which “multiculturalistas” and ethnic minorities bonded together to form groups of “racial purity” that he claimed ended up creating more division.

That’s correct.  Multiculturalism is often a code word for blaming white people for the ills of society, attributing the lack of progress of minorities to their “victim” status.  Even when it is a celebration of other culture, it is not the American culture.  The American culture is Western culture.  It is derived from the white Europeans who originally settled this country.  Our Western culture is so highly prized that it is the reason why so many people from failed cultures in Africa, failed cultures in Central and South America, and failed cultures in Asia are flocking to come here.  more

  1. Scott had to knuckle under to his paranoid black base. What a shame. Multiculturalism has not served blacks that well at all. But they still support it out of habit, like many US Jews do.

  2. Never heard of Ryan Bounds before、but if he thinks as described in the AT essay, his level of qualification & desireability to be nominated only increased in my view. And Marco’s qualifications continues to diminish imo illustrating yet again he has already risen above his level of competence.

  3. Thats the big problem with voting for people like little marco and tim scott, their priorities are not america first, its more about racial politics.
    It seems to be a common theme with any non white candidate.

    > And little Marco strikes again. C’mon Florida, is that little homo the best you can do?

    Until the corpse of John McCain can be The Senators (plural) of Florida and Arizona, at the same time… yes. Yes, it is.
