Talk:José Vasconcelos

message: The article contained two quotes that seeked to imply that Vasconcelos was antisemitic/Hitler sympathizer. I fixed on of them to show the larger context that is not antisemitic. From http://www.filosofia.org/aut/001/razacos.htm :
"Cada uno de los grandes pueblos de la Historia se ha creído el final y el elegido. Cuando se comparan unas con otras estas infantiles soberbias, se mira que la misión que cada pueblo se atribuye no es en el fondo otra cosa que afán de botín y deseo de exterminar a la potencia rival. La misma ciencia oficial es en cada época un reflejo de esa soberbia de la raza dominante. Los hebreos fundaron la creencia de su superioridad en oráculos y promesas divinas. Los ingleses radican la suya en observaciones propias domésticas. De la observación de cruzamientos y variedades hereditarias de dichos animales fue saliendo el darwinismo, primero como una modesta teoría zoológica, después como biología social que otorga la preponderancia definitiva al inglés sobre todas las demás razas. Todo imperialismo necesita de una filosofía ..."
Whoever wrote the other should either make a section on his antisemitism/nazi sympathies or remove it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.151.61 (talk) 09:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a section on Vasconcelos' antisemitism and advocacy of what some might regard as cultural genocide earlier in the article, but it was removed. 71.118.50.26 (talk) 19:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  antisemite? 

message: In discussing "The Cosmic Race" the article previously read: "(Contrary to popular belief, 'The cosmic race' is not a science fiction work). Since there is no citation given for this popular belief, and the work can indeed be considered science fictional Delanty, Gerard, Routledge Handbook of Cosmopolitan Studies, (p. 498)), I've removed it. The rest of the description is enough to demonstrate that "The Cosmic Race" isn't science fictional in the same sense that a science fiction novel is, and a debate on genre would be a distraction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BretN (talk • contribs) 08:25, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was engaged in a search for something else, and in the process happened upon this. The third of the quotes on the page ("page 122") reads in part "..the German legation subsidized Timón, the right-wing newspaper of former Mexican education secretary Vasconcelos, a publication that constantly printed pro-Axis and anti-U.S. articles and editorials."
While Timón is mentioned once in the article, it is only as part of a citation. I think it deserves more space, and I hope there is someone out there with the knowledge and sources to be able to add more (or indeed anything) about it. Harfarhs (talk) 23:12, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
