Now let's take up the minorities in our civilization, shall we? Bigger the
population, the more minorities. Don't step on the toes of the dog-lovers, the
cat-lovers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs, Mormons, Baptists, Unitarians,
second-generation Chinese, Swedes, Italians, Germans, Texans, Brooklynites,
Irishmen, people from Oregon or Mexico. The people in this book, this play, this
TV serial are not meant to represent any actual painters, cartographers,
mechanics anywhere. The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle
controversy, remember that! All the minor minor minorities with their navels to
be kept clean.
