  What other industrial countries have a comparable racial demographic to the U.S.? I realize the religious Left refuses to use “nuance”, science, and reams of data on race to join the reality-based community, but can you commit a sin here for your readers and tell us how white Americans compare to “peer” white Europeans, for example?
