Quotations


A multiethnic democracy in which no particular ethnic group is in the majority

The simple fact of the matter is that the world has never built a multiethnic democracy in which no particular ethnic group is in the majority and where political equality, social equality and economies that empower all have been achieved. We are engaged in a fight over whether to work together to build such a world.

From the essay “Charlottesville is not the continuation of an old fight. It is something new.”
