Speaking as a Mexican-American, I can understand. There are customs from both sides of my family that I find bewildering. I don't mean to say that I fetishize diversity, but it does seem like paleoconservatism rejects diversity out of hand. The notion that I am unwelcome because I come from Mexico is one that I find bewildering and insulting. I suppose that I get a feeling that paleoconservatives fetishize homogeny and a static culture, which I realize may not be accurate. I do believe that, as an individual, I have value, and that part of that value is derived from my heritage and upbringing. I don't agree with the affirmative action bullshit that has taken hold of far too many institutions, but I do think that an alien perspective can provide real value and that it can be understood. That's the idea that Science Fiction literature is built on. Frank Herbert's Dune is a masterful novel whose reality is completely alien, and yet it explores the concepts of the Messiah, of religious fanaticism, and of the role of conflict in humanity's existence in a way that is extremely relatable. In the same vein, Nicomachean Ethics is a great work of philosophy, even though it was written by a man who is vastly removed from modern-day America in space, time, and culture.
