Start: The facts! What facts! An innocent boy goes swimming with an instructor—an instructor whom he likes because this instructor is one of the few who encourage him, who don’t ride him.

[...]

End: I resent this judgment by prejudice. He’s not like me, therefore he is capable of all possible crimes. He’s not one of us—a member of the tribe!
