**[[Calvin Coolidge]], [https://www.coolidgefoundation.org/resources/speeches-as-president-1923-1928-12/ speech to a delegation of foreign-born citizens at the White House] (16 October 1924)

*[H]istorical patterns are clear: When Europeans feel sufficiently threatened&ndash;even when the threat's concocted nonsense&ndash;they don't just react, they overreact with stunning ferocity. One of their more humane (and frequently employed) techniques has been ethnic cleansing.
