Yeah, without knowing this I bought his book around the time that Win Ben Stein's Money was going on while I was in High School... there was a whole chapter about how the only type of racism left in America was colleges using Affirmative Action. Other than that, all racism has been eradicated in the US.

It shouldn't, Ben Stein is a massive piece of shit. He used "being boring and monotone" to disguise his unhinged lunatic conservatism.
