I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's an honest man and decent and not a nigger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a white man from dust, a nigger from mud, then threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is an awful thing for me to have to say that about the only race I have any respect for is the Jews.
