Hitler says:

"From time to time it is demonstrated . . . that for the first time here or there a Negro has become a lawyer, teacher, even clergyman, or even a leading opera tenor or something of that kind . . . It does not dawn upon this depraved bourgeois world that here one has actually to do with a sin against all reason; that it is A CRIMINAL ABSURDITY TO TRAIN A BORN HALF-APE UNTIL ONE BELIEVES A LAWYER HAS BEEN MADE OF HIM . . . FOR IT IS TRAINING EXACTLY AS THAT OF A POODLE, and not a scientific 'education.'  The same trouble and care, applied to intelligent races, would fit each individual a thousand times better for the same achievements."
