Oszkar Jaszi Quotes
In Hungary the system … provided two real and important privileges for the ruling classes: The one was the exclusion of the middle classes of the non-Magyar races from all government offices and from the local county administrations, as well as from the higher spheres of cultural life. The other was the restricted suffrage, exercised with open balloting, which gave full opportunity to the dominating classes to nullify not only the political action of the national minorities but also of the pure Magyar landless peasantry and working classes.

Historically, until recently there has been a migration from the South to other parts of the country. After legal segregation ended, the out migration slowed and by the end of the 20th century, people—including intellectuals began moving to the South. Generally, the vestiges of the anti intellectualism began to fade, but even into the 21st century the College Board Test Scores and other educational measures were generally lower in the South than in the rest of the country. Ironically, whereas the Southern insistence on segregated schools was to prevent the intellectual erosion that racists thought would come with integration, the educational achievement of the schools and population of the less segregated school areas was considerably better. With legal segregation, there were very few high quality universities in the South and no “World Class” schools. However, along with desegregation has been the intellectual and academic improvement of the Southern Schools and the South began to have, for the first time in America, some educational institutions that were on a par with the rest of the country. The South paid a heavy price for segregation and insularity.
This is an important quotation because Buckley was the leading intellectual conservative of his day. And he held these racist views more than a decade after the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act were passed. Buckley was an elitist with an Ivy League education, and he did believe that there was nothing inherent or permanent in the Southern Black inferiority, but there were few people of his educational level who had these racist beliefs. Not all conservatives of the time were as racist as Buckley. Even into the 21st century Conservative groups like the Tea Party had a strong but minority vestige of racism.
