(128.30) Yet there was one black face, the counter-tenor, a Jamaican
corporal, taken from his warm island to this [...] - not to mention the
Latin, the _German_? in an English church? These are not heresies so much as
imperial outcomes, necessary as the black man's presence, from acts of minor
surrealism - which, taken in mass, are an act of suicide, but which in its
pathology, in its dreamless version of the real, the Empire commits by the
thousands every day, completely unaware of what it's doing...
------------------

Does this "suicide" mean incorporation of "the other," the conquered, into
its fold, ultimately resulting in dissolution of the original purity of the
Empire's noble race?  Extermination of the conquered would be the
alternative, but then who'd wash your dirty underwear?

Now, if we got to really mixing it up, commingling all those races
relentlessly over centuries we'd eventually have one new race, shared by
all: the Brave New Mongrelized World.
