Ridiculous maybe to us, but I don't know. Although times have definitely changed to a fair extent, a lot of Phil Ochs's "Love Me, I'm A Liberal" still rings true today - including, in many places, "And I love Porto Ricans and Negroes (sic) Provided they don't move next door."
Ochs's description of political liberals as "10 degrees to left of centre in good times, 10 degrees to the right of centre if it affects them personally" is uncomfortable, possibly a little unfair to some, but perhaps not completely unfounded.
