race-antipathy

Updated: September 23, 2025

This seems to me a marked instance of individual affection overcoming race-antipathy. I have two dogs, two cats, and a kitten.

Only, like human beings, they have their dislikes and preferences for each other.

The Jews may be cited to show how a separate and peculiar people may be able to live together with other races without either clashing with or being assimilated by these but we must remember that the ethnic difference between the Jews and Europeans are too slight to sustain serious and lasting race-antipathy.
