Statement about his North Vietnamese prison guards, in response to a question asked by reporters aboard his campaign bus.

“I just feel left out of the whole possibility of love and romance. I hate that that is related to my race, and I hate that I believe it. I hate that I have felt it for so long, and I hate that white women have it so easy. And it’s not that they are all beautiful or interesting—their face could look like a piece of paper, but there is a cultural perspective skewed towards them. We are asked to compare ourselves to them.”

Morgan Parker (writer) American poet
