John Dos Passos kommentiert PEGIDA
From Manhattan Transfer (1925)
‘No I tell you, Wilkinson, New York is no longer what it used to be when Emily and I first moved up here about the time the Ark landed … City’s overrun with kikes and low Irish, that’s what’s the matter with it … In ten years a Christian wont be able to make a living … I tell you the Catholics and the Jews are going to run us out of our own country, that’s what they are going to do.’
…
‘It’s not laughing matter; when a man’s worked hard all his life to build up a business and that sort of thing he dont want to be run out by a lot of damn foreigners, does he Wilkinson?’
…
‘The trouble with the people of this country is this, Mr Merivale’ … Mr Wilkinson frowned ponderously. ‘The people of this country are too tolerant. There’s no other country in the world where they’d allow it … After all we built up this country and then we allow a lot of foreigners, the scum of Europe, the off-scourings of Polish ghettoes to come and run it for us.’
…
‘And add to that the ignorance of these dirty kikes and shanty Irish that we make voters before they can even talk English.’
