A columnist has been fired from a national magazine after he wrote a 'nasty and indefensible' piece urging his children to stay away from African Americans. John Derbyshire lost his job at the National Review for the article which claimed to be advice he offered to his own children.

In an online piece for Taki's Magazine called 'The Talk: Nonblack version' Derbyshire said to avoid events attended by African-Americans, stay out of certain neighborhoods and scrutinise the character of black politicians.

    Well, he can keep his racist ways to himself. Color isn't everything, the people who distinguish others by their skin color are morons. I just hate idiots regardless of their ethinic background.

    Good call, it makes the individual more responsible for his behavior.

    Pfft, silly Pakis.

    Nah seriously, cultural practices are evident (after living in West London, such as Turks, Sikhs and Yardies/Jamaicans). They aren't all applicable though.

    Still, interesting read despite wearing my "hated by the Daily Mail" shirt lol
