In the article that caused his firing, Derbyshire suggested that white and East Asian parents should talk to their children about the threats posed to their safety by black people. He also recommended that parents tell their children not to live in predominantly black communities. He included the line "If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date."
He has also written for the ''New English Review''. His columns cover political-cultural topics, including immigration, China, history, mathematics, and race. Derbyshire's 1996 novel about Chinese American immigrants, ''Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream'', was a ''New York Times'' "Notable Book of the Year". His 2004 non-fiction book ''Prime Obsession'' won the Mathematical Association of America's inaugural Euler Book Prize. A political book, ''We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism'', was released in September 2009. Provided by Wikipedia
