Elif Shafak Quotes
It Is Not Their Quantative Scarcity Vis-a-vis The Majority That Makes Minorities Hapless But Rather Their Qualitative Similarity. As A Member Of A Minority Group, You Can Be As Industrious As An Ant, Even Hit The Jackpot And Acquire A Considerable Fortune, But Someday, Just Because You Presently And Will Always Belong To The Same Community, You Could In An Instant Find Yourself On Par With Those Of Your Community Who Have Idled Their Lives Away Since Birth. That Is Why The Affluent Among The Minorities Are Never Affluent Enough; Neither Are Their Exceptional Members Ever Sufficiently So.
