It makes me think of this episode specifically:

I remember watching/reading/dissecting this episode in junior high. In Ohio. It's fucking nuts to see this playing out in real life.
The ending narration:
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill ... and suspicion can destroy ... and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own—for the children and the children yet unborn.
That really is how it feels. The Haitians are more my neighbors than jackass Vance.
I feel like I've been living in the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits since the 80s. Things seemed they were going to take a turn for the better in the mid nineties, for about a year then went buck wild, not in a good way.
Yeah. When you step back and look at the whole thing objectively it's wild what's going on.
