Fraser has written, so far as I know, one article on the issue of race.

Chomsky has written numerous books and articles on politics and world affairs over a period of several decades.

You can disagree with his conclusions, but it is fairly clear that he has researched the topics and spent considerable time thinking about them.

It is a great way of having your cake and eating it. It leaves Noam, an icon of the left wing baby boomers, intact.

Mind you, why does publishing make any difference if it is outside ones field of expertise? I await another cake eating explanation.

Whilst academic freedom maybe widely interpreted, in Fraser’s case its questionable since in fact he has never published or at least to my knowledge in any recognised academic publication on issues of race and ethnicity and multiculturalism.

Whoops, yup, Noam, not Norm.

Noam speaks outside of his field of expertise just like Fraser. Any complaints?

However, we need to answer why Fraser is a racist. He vilifies blacks for their failures and then turns around and vilifies Asians for their success. So, by elimination unless you are white and preferably Nordic, you are not a real Aussie, according to him. I think what Australia needs is to mix white and Asian genes and perhaps then we can have a discussion as to whether mixed asian-white folks are smarter than whites and how much the Asian gene has to do with it.

Noam Chomsky however, is a gentleman and scholar.

It’s pretty clear Fraser’s spouting white supremacist rhetoric rather than academic argument, even without looking at the handful of sources he quotes every second sentence. You canjudge how far off the political spectrum he is by the fact that he attacks Keith Windschuttle for the latter’s ‘tender-minded attitudes’ towards immigrants – Windschuttle having just published a book arguing that the White Australia Policy wasn’t racist.
It’s not surprising to see his case being taken up by nut factories around the world – I found his article on National Vanguard (”Standing up for White Americans”)

As Fraser points out, xenophobes flock together
