Kevin MacDonald

Kevin B. MacDonald (* 24. Januar 1944 in Oshkosh (Wisconsin)) ist ein US-amerikanischer Psychologe. Er ist Professor an der California State University, Long Beach. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch die These, dass das Judentum durch eine „gruppenevolutionäre Strategie“ geprägt sei.

The university's psychology department, as well as the Cal State Long Beach academic senate, have formally dissociated themselves from his work.[4][5] The academic senate described his views as antisemitic and white ethnocentric
