and so this boss in Villa Literno one day decides that the immigrants have to go away because they are seen as a threat because for the most part immigrants are single men they have no women they have no amusements so after work the only thing that nearly all of them do is to get drunk and then they become a problem an annoyance they make noise and become disorderly and maybe they get into fights with one another and so they have to go they all have to leave the town and the surrounding area there can’t be even one of them left behind and then there’s a problem that nobody talks about but that all the men have in the back of their minds which is the issue of women because in our towns an immigrant is seen as someone who arrives here and after a while might even take your woman away it’s a product of cultural backwardness or fear of the negro who is widely imagined to be someone who has a bigger tool than you or I might so in any case blacks are always seen as a threat as a danger in your territory

it’s no surprise that problems develop with the immigrants because three or four thousand men transplanted from other countries forced to live on the street forced to work like beasts in the fields it’s only natural that at night they drink an extra beer or two that they start to get depressed because they’re missing their faraway homes and so maybe they get into a fight cause a brawl in a bar but all this is unacceptable to the so called respectable people of the town the blacks have to be expelled chased away and this responsibility is taken up by none other than the clan which goes around to all the landlords that have rented rooms to the Africans and orders them to evict them all but there are those who suspect that the real reason for the mass eviction of the Africans is that the clan wants to replace them with people from eastern Europe people who are more like us in part because they have the same skin color as us in fact they often have even lighter skin than us so they can be better tolerated if not exactly accepted and they are considered to be brothers unfortunate handsome intelligent and capable

and so it’s the usual thing if you’re black you’re never going to be seen as anything but black even if you’re smart and capable even if you’re an electronic engineer whoever you are whatever you do you’re still just a negro and a negro is accepted with hostility to say nothing of Moroccans and other North Africans who belong to another race they’re drunks they never want to work who go into the countryside at five in the morning and already at five in the afternoon they’re tired nothing could be more normal of course the employer would be tired as well but different rules apply to Moroccans if after twelve hours of hard labor they’re tired then it just means that they don’t really want to work so you replace them all en masse with people from eastern Europe apparently much more tractable much more submissive but in reality they are simply much more cunning and clever because they are very careful to avoid coming here to do the same shitty work as the blacks and the Moroccans
