...back to the problem at hand-elitism. We are being bred as elitists, and taught to impugn the values of the middle class. Our bowling alley background is being purged from our consciousness, and we are subtly instructed to think of a bowling ball as a dirty thing. Take my roommate, for instance. When he was a high school student, bowling simply rounded out his secondary education. But since he's come to Harvard, he has not set foot inside a set of alleys, and says he has no desire to do so. He's been uprooted...
...students still say-"The Indian will never fight, only work." "The Indian is basically happy because he knows nothing better." "Races bred in cold places are more volatile than those bred in low hot places. Coupled with chronic malnutrition, this produces in the Indian an almost complete acceptance and passivity."

But even while Professor Lipset was solemnly proclaiming the end of an ideological era in which "fundamental political problems of the industrial revolution have been solved.... This very triumph of the democratic social revolution in the West...
...bride aspire only to sexual bliss with Conrad. Conrad himself mercy awaits the chance to murder the heiress and her parents, to propel him openly into prominence and wealth as savior of the Ornstein dynasty. Barbarian blood, as the old historical axiom goes, refreshes the withered, in-bred stock of effete aristocrats. In fairy-tale fashion, all who have survived live happily ever after...
