About this Quote

This quote by Iris Chang talks to the idea that approval of a particular group of individuals is frequently based on the conditions of the environment. If the conditions are right, then there is a greater possibility of approval. Nevertheless, if the group of people presents an economic or political risk, then the approval can rapidly turn to hatred and discrimination. This quote is a reminder that acceptance is not constantly guaranteed, which it can be easily eliminated if the conditions are not right. It is a tip to be mindful of the conditions of the environment and to be aware of the potential for discrimination.
