I think us seeing the browning of the world as one of the factors is completely correct.

But I often wonder if this is not a natural byproduct of people experiencing a standard of living that declines over time and then they start to point somewhere.

Because if you look at Europe itself, some of the biggest wars that have ever been fought only involved white people.

You know, they were just fighting with themselves about themselves.

And so whenever I read these stories throughout history, I go, oh, wow, it doesn't matter.

Brown is almost the easy thing for somebody to pick on now.

But when you get rid of that, someone will find something else and somebody will find something else.

And so I almost wonder... I think it's a combination.

Yeah?

I think that there is definite...

um a definite contribution with respect to inequity yeah and the fact that people who could have believed that this was the type of life that they could aspire to now realize that that is now beyond them i mean in this country you have it with the industrialization yeah yeah that left

And therefore, strong, credible, dignified jobs were all of a sudden taken from people.

And those jobs sustained families.

But let us not forget as well that there is still regrettably an eye for differences in the world.

Oh, definitely.

And I think the combination of all of those things has helped.

to create that sense of almost despair.

And the despair has led then to anger and the anger has led to shutting out people and focusing in.

But tell me when in history

Any civilization has conquered or survived by shutting in.
