not going better after this

"All Jews are bastards!" The narrator knows this because he heard the stories. He feels lucky he never really met a Jew. "The average Jew is about as despicable as the Germans (or Austrians which is about the same thing really). Germans are fat boors whose low intellect puts the almost on the level with women (whores, all of 'em). Germans are so dumb they even lack the common decency to be ashamed of being german."

The narrator lives in France and has taken on the French nationality ("stinking greedy egocentric self-loathing..." you get the picture.) His mother was French but he was born in Italy (Cowards). "Italians are a bastard race, a breed mixed of lesser bastard races with less savoury habits undoubtedly because they grew up under the influence of the RCC and the less said about them, the better."

"Whores are about as bad as their customers. I know because I visit the brothels but only to observe and have a quiet drink. I don't need woman, I can handle my urges myself quite fine thank you. Not that I indulge too much because going blind would be bad in my profession."
