...whites and blacks based on equal ethnicity for all. Others disagree. Harvard Sociologist Orlando Patterson, himself black, thinks ethnicity was "possibly the only way blacks could mobilize" but sees white ethnicity, its successor, as an alarming "symptom of fragmentation" in society, and he believes it is tacitly or potentially antiblack. Some white minority groups would actually rather be all-American than be seen as a separate ethnic group. Carlos Almeida, whose Portuguese Union of the State of California pushed through the Bay Area bilingual program, says that all Americans should learn English, "but if you're going to have...
...Louis. The community was incorporated primarily to pass zoning laws, which would have blocked a federally funded low-income housing project (TIME, April 26).

"It's not that they are aginners," he said, "but rather they are do-nothingers. They are guilty of neglect, not malice." In fact, the Administration can have it both ways. Even if it is not really antiblack, the charge that it is certainly does not constitute a political liability in some parts of the U.S. On the other hand, as the Administration proved last week, it has done...
