And yet what ultimately unites Europe’s far-right parties is similar to what underlies the Tea Party’s rise within America’s Republican Party: covert racism and xenophobia.

但最终让欧洲极右翼政党抱团的东西与让茶党在美国共和党内部崛起东西十分相似：隐蔽的种族主义和排外主义。尽管茶党的追随者——早先的一份民调显示89%为白人，只有1%是黑人——以压倒一切的重要性反对的是政府支出，但他们也接受政府对他们自己的帮助。他们不能接受的是黑人总统和政府为“他人”支出。
