“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

“President Johnson and others would turn out to be wrong about who would come through the door. The law—actually, a series of amendments to the McCarran-Walter Act—would unleash a tide of immigration from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and set in motion a demographic transformation of the country that is still unfolding today. By 1970, the Chinese population in the United States would grow to more than 430,000 people, almost double what it had been a decade earlier. The number would continue to double every ten years until the end of the century. Since 1965, about a quarter of immigrants to the United States have been Asian. They have become the country’s fastest-growing ethnic population. Today, there are more than five million Chinese Americans in the United States.”

“The question had been complicated by the advocacy of some good men, who saw in the separation of the white and black races in the schools of the Nation a dangerous tendency toward the creation of class distinctions in our American life. It was the expression of a theory of equality right in itself, but which it would have been fatal at that moment to enforce.”
