The really refreshing thing about dealing with Arf is that he makes no
bones about his bigotry -- although he _does_ deny that's what it is.
I love this line:

Jack, you might be surprised to know that there are some of us who
believe that the real value in "this country" is that it is not a
monoculture, that it is one of the few places in the world in which the
entire concept is that a whole lot of different people can co-exist --
with a little effort on everyone's part.  

You ever go out for Chinese food, Jack? or Italian? or Polish? or maybe
listen to a little Rhythm & Blues? or opera? or Los Lobos?

But just think, Jack, the Indians probably feel the same way about you.
