On Monday night, speaking at the University of Minnesota, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro was asked whether he supported the notion that a nation should be demographically and culturally homogenous, prompting him to offer an explanation of the difference between a nation based on a creed, like the United States or Israel, and other nation states based on ethnicity. The young man offering a question at the Q&A following the speech referred to Israel as a “demographically and culturally homogenous” nation, a description that Shapiro debunked, pointing out the vast diversity of the Jewish state. Shapiro also noted that he was uninterested in his ethnic identity as a Jew and only interested in his religious identity, pointing out that Noam Chomsky, along with Bernie Sanders, who are both ethnically Jewish, were “schmucks,” prompting laughter from the audience.
