Because that is what the OP is promoting in the linked article...

FAIR leaders have ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists and have made many racist statements. Its advertisements have been rejected because of racist content. FAIRs founder, John Tanton, has expressed his wish that America remain a majority-white population: a goal to be achieved, presumably, by limiting the number of nonwhites who enter the country. One of the groups main goals is upending the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ended a decades-long, racist quota system that limited immigration mostly to northern Europeans. FAIR President Dan Stein has called the Act a mistake.

DU'ers deserve to know that the OP is promoting a right wing extremist organization with ties to white supremacists.
Perhaps the OP might like to explain why he or she believes that promoting white supremacists is appropriate for DU.
The SPLC deems FAIR to be a hate group:

Hey, left-of-center2012, is FAIR a go-to source of news and information for you? Just happened to stumble across it in your regular reading of racist content on the internet, didya?
