— Peter Marino
I think the truth is, we are all racist, really, when it comes down to it. I think all of us have to check ourselves from time to time, and say, 'Look, that sort of attitude isn't good enough.' It takes discipline to keep our prejudices out.

For me, personally, life in South Africa had come to an end. I had been lucky in some of the whites I had met.

But I had reached a point where the gestures of even my friends among the whites were suspect, so I had to go or be forever lost.
— Peter Abrahams

The attitude is different in the U.S. I feel like, in Canada, there is more of a sense of community and more of a sense of, 'I'll take the shirt off my back to help you because you're my neighbour.' There is not many of us, right? So each and every Canadian is very special.
— Patrick Chan
