"Well, I had nightmares when I was doing the Klan story all the time. I had a recurring nightmare of basically being exposed as a Jew inside the Klan compound"

This quote by Jon Ronson speaks with the worry and anxiety he experienced while looking into a story about the Ku Klux Klan. His problem of being exposed as a Jew inside the Klan compound reflects the ingrained fear of being found and maltreated for his identity. It also speaks with the power of the Klan and the worry they instill in those who oppose them. Ronson's problem is a pointer of the dangers of speaking up versus hate and bigotry, and the need to stay alert in the face of such hatred. It also works as a pointer of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of fear and intimidation.
