The respectable family that supports worthless relatives or covers up their crimes in order to "protect the family name"{as if the moral stature of one man could be damaged by the actions of another}
-the bum who boasts that his great-grandfather was an empire-builder, or the small-town spinster who boasts that her maternal great-uncle was a state senator and her third cousin gave a concert at carnegie hall {as if the achievement of one man could rub off on the mediocrity of another}
-the parents who search geneological trees in order to evaluate their prospective son-in-law.
-the celebrity who starts his autobiography with a detailed account of his family history -All these are samples of racism.
