Hate group VDARE adopts Stephanie Grace as a cause


Remember Stephanie Grace, the Harvard law student who "absolutely [does not] rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent?"  Well, looks like noted paleoconservative, crypto-white-nationalist hate group VDARE has taken up her cause.

They've published several articles referencing or defending Ms. Grace, most recently using Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow's denunciation of Grace's comments as an excuse to oppose her as a potential Supreme Court nominee while positing the idea of asking actual nominee Elena Kagan how she would have reacted to the situation.

As mentioned in a comment on our previous coverage of Ms. Grace's remarks, her inevitable adoption as a poster child by some rather heinous racist groups will likely be the most jarring fallout for this law student.  Words matter.
