And for a country that enjoys the privilege of security. we might be forgiven for this growing anxiety. Fear makes it easy to be nervous and cynical. We allowed our baser instincts to get the better of us in this country. as we did in 1941. We translated the contagion of xenophobia into national policy with the internment of German and Japanese from my area in internment camps. We are hearing the same contemptible rhetoric today. It is dishonorable. it is false. and to believe it is to reject the fundamental truth that the American people are ultimately made of finer stuff than fear. blame. and prejudice.
