Though your major media kept smacking me upside the head with the word "multicultural," you goddamned Australians are the most racist bunch of people I've ever seen in my life.
Jim GoadMany of the racial problems in America are caused by the fact that people are innately tribal, and politicians know how to exploit that biological fact.
Jim GoadI don't think it's entirely paranoid to suspect that one day, you won't be able to so much as question the primary tenets of anti-racism without going to jail.
Jim GoadIf anything, I've probably tended more toward humor in my writing and veered more toward pleasure in my personal life.
Jim GoadI still partially suffer from the delusion that if you explain things logically and systematically, most people will abandon their emotional prejudices and respond to logic. But I don't suffer from that delusion as wholeheartedly as I did in the past. So if there's a fundamental difference, it's that I've accepted the fact that most imbeciles will never 'get' me and I shouldn't allow myself to get so upset about it.
