Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who identify as "hyphenated Americans" (for example, Irish-American or Mexican-American) may face discrimination or disapproval from those in positions of power. The term "hyphenated American" refers to someone who identifies their heritage or ethnicity alongside their American identity. The quote implies that this choice to embrace and express multiple cultural identities may be viewed unfavorably by those who prioritize a singular, homogeneous notion of American identity, perpetuating a sense of otherness and exclusion for such individuals.

I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; and consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics. He is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do. For myself, as no doubt for most of my friends, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom. The supporters of this system claimed that it embodied the meaning - the Christian meaning, they insisted - of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confuting these people and justifying ourselves in our erotic revolt: we would deny that the world had any meaning whatever.
