Um "velhinho" Isherwood, ainda nas férias

"Now along come the liberals - inluding everyone in this room - and they say 'Minorities are just people, like us'. (...) Sure they're like us, but not exactly like us; that's the all too familiar state of liberal hysteria in which you begin to kid yourself you honestly cannot see any difference between a Negro and a Swede...

Now suppose that this minority does get persecuted, never mind why (...). But the worst of it is, we now run into another liberal heresy. Because the persecuting majority is vile, says the liberal, therefore the persecuted minority must be stainlessly pure. (...) Did all the Christian victims in the arena have to be saints?

A minority has its own kind of aggression. It absolutely dares the majority to attack it. It hates the majority - not without a cause, I grant you. It even hates the other minorities, because all minorities are in competition: each one proclaims that its sufferings are the worst and its wrongs the blackest. (...) Do you think it makes people nasty to be loved? you know it doesn't! Then why should it make them nice to be loathed?"
