In a society in which equality is a fact, not merely a word, words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation will be nonsense syllables.

Summary

This quote suggests that in a truly equal society, where all individuals are treated equally regardless of their race or gender, any words or actions intended to offend or humiliate someone on the basis of race or gender would be rendered meaningless. In such a society, discrimination and prejudice would no longer have power, as the values of equality and respect would prevail over hate and division.
