Think Progress: The Heritage Foundation’s analysis of the economic consequences of immigration reform uses absurd methodology to come to conclusions entirely at odds with the organization’s own findings in 2006. Perhaps one explanation for this incoherence is that one of the paper’s coauthors, a new hire, opposes Hispanic immigration because he thinks Latinos are stupid.
A) The Heritage Foundation is the conservative think tank, over and above all others. It's founder, Paul Weyrich, is widely described as the father of the modern conservative movement. B) A conclusion that Hispanics have lower IQ's is the very definition of racism. When you ascribe an undesirable characteristic to a particular racial group, when you call Latinos genetically inferior, that's pretty much what racism is. C) Therefore, conservatives are the very definition of racists. A+B=C. Of course, if you know your political history you know the modern Republican party deliberately built its base with racists, and so this won't surprise you one bit.
