"L'Enfer c'est les autres." A Tsarist report of 1910 on the harmless Reindeer Tungus on the Amur River said, "They resembled dogs, or horses, but had nothing in common with the race of men." Therefore one might herd them as domesticated animals; they were of no consequence as men. The Sioux Indians, affirmed the Topeka Weekly Daily in 1867 were a "set of miserable dirty lousy blanketed thieving lying sneaking murdering graceless faceless gut-eating SKUNKS as the Lord ever permitted to infect the earth, and whose immediate and final extermination all MEN, excepting Indian agents and traders, should pray for."

"The New Englanders", wrote Cotton Mather in the Wonders of the Invisible World, "are a people of God settled in those which were once the Devil's territories.[God's] people shall dispossess the Devil and keep Him and his 'Incarnate Legions' down "that if we get well through we shall soon Enjoy Halcyon Days with all the Vultures of Hell Trodden under our Feet."

The foreigner is less than human because he does not quite belong to the same species as we do. Intermarriage with the foreigner has the effect of lowering the humanity of the real men - US. The bastard or Half-Breed is the visible expression of an invisible cancer, and so-called patriots have branded the infiltration of foreigners as a malignant or parasitic growth on a healthy body. "National Socialism", informed a Nazi leader, "is applied biology."
