How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"You're lucky he's not as much of a bigot as you are, or I'd complain to the Clave and make the whole pack pay for your behavior." (2.12.56)
"They hated each other, so it's in our blood to hate each other too. We can't help it." (2.12.59)
This is a poor excuse from Maia. We doubt she'd be like this if she thought it was in her blood for white people and other races to hate each other.
Quote #8
"If the Clave goes on as they are […] the demons will see their weakness and attack, and the Clave, distracted by their endless courting of the degenerate races, will be in no condition to fight them off. (2.13.96)
Once again, we see the theme of "can't we all just get along?" United, the Downworlders can stand against Valentine, but divided against each other, they will fall.
Quote #9
"[Simon] wasn't human," said Valentine, in his silky voice. "He had become a monster. You just couldn't see it, Clarissa, because it wore the face of a friend." (3.18.95)
Valentine tries to transfer his hatred for Downworlders onto Clary. It might have worked for Jace (maybe this is where he gets his attitude from), but Clary is too compassionate to behave that way.
