Eula Biss Quotes

I Felt Sick With Hatred Then For My Own People. If You Had Asked Me Why I Hated Them, I Might Have Said That I Hated Them For Being So Loud And For Being So Drunk. But Now I Believe I Hated Them For Suddenly Being My People, Not Just Other People. In The United States, It Is Very Easy For Me To Forget That The People Around Me Are My People. It Is Easy, With All Our Divisions, To Think Of Myself As An Outsider In My Own Country. I Have Been Taught, And I Have Learned Well, I Realize Now, To Think Of Myself As Distinctly Different From Other White Folks - More Educated, More Articulate, Less Crude. But In Mexico These Distinctions Became As Meaningless To Me As They Should Have Always Been.
