I mean, what is racism? Racism is a projection of our own fears onto another person. What is sexism? It’s our own vulnerability about our potency and masculinity projected as our need to subjugate another person, you know?

It’s built to crash, but if you fall off a racehorse we all know what can happen, so it’s tremendously dangerous.
