Rosenberg, U Chicago Sunday March 14, 1999 16:26:00 CST Reply-To: H-NET History of Antisemitism List Sender: H-NET History of Antisemitism List On Sunday, March 14th, Pat Buchanan, appearing as a presidential candidate on the NBC morning program, complained that the student body at Harvard was some 20% Asian and some 30% Jewish leaving far less than proportionate room for “White Christians.”

If we are committed to protecting the rights of all groups in a multicultural society, he seemed to be saying, should not the majority group in the country have majority representation both in the student body and in the faculty of our “great universities.” Is this fellow a borderline antisemite or would suspicion of him mark the suspector as a borderline paranoid?
