White Population

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or population:

    She’s me. She represents everything I feel, everything I want to be. I’m so locked into her that what she says is unimportant.
    Diane Valleta, White American suburbanite. As quoted in the New York Times, p. A13 (July 29, 1992)

    America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
    Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
