American Intolerance Quotes

“There are five tell-tale signs of a social scare: (1) concern, (2) hostility, (3) consensus, (4) disproportion, and (5) volatility. First, there must be sufficient concern that the perceived threat poses a serious risk to traditional values and must be measurable. Statistics and opinion polls are often used to sound the alarm, but they are not always accurate.”
― Robert E. Bartholomew, American Intolerance: Our Dark History of Demonizing Immigrants
