A minor note. I doubt very much that Dr. Ignatiev is "of Russian-Jewish descent". In particular, he has apparently stated that he is not of Jewish extraction: http://racetraitor.org/letters6.html. (Besides, not many Jewish parents name their son Noel, ie Christmas...) So I'm removing pending evidence to the contrary. AnotherBDA 07:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- According to Instauration (April 1998: 17), "Chief guru of white studies is Noel Ignatiev, who says he is not a Jew but was raised in a Jewish home." Lightningstrikes 04:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- I read the letters page in question. At no point does he state or hint that he is not of Jewish extraction.Dogface 13:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Noel Ignatiev has a long history as an SDS leader and later as leader of SDS offshoot Sojourner Truth Organization. The total lack of biographical material and corresponding lack of discussion of the ideological genesis of his theories about "whiteness" is a weak point of this article.

Could anyone please tell me why Vdare is quoted in the page as an authority?? I'm sure the learned users of wikipedia could come up with more respectable and widely accepted sources that critique Mr. Ignatiev's positions. - James
