Entry: Learning to Love the French Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/learning_to_love_the_french#12329 Post contents: The "Old Order" knew nothing about race. "Race" is a myth invented by Artur de Gobineau in the 19th Century. It also knew nothing about "nation", an invention of Herder. It knew everything about loyalty to a dynasty, a locality, and a church. Were Wheeler to be talking about folkways (and folkways have nothing to do with genetics), I'd be more in sympathy with his writeback. His writeback's first four sentences have enough truth.
