1911, C. M. Skinner, “Kial La Reĝo Estis Malfrua”, in Henry W. Hetzel, transl., American Esperanto Magazine, volume 10:Lia Reĝa Moŝto klarigis ke oni lin arestis antaŭ kelkaj tagoj, kaj ke, pro manko de malmultaj moneroj de la blankula ŝtato,—malestiminda afero de kvar dolaroj kaj dekkvin cendoj,—li devas resti malantaŭ la bariloj, eble ĉiam.- His Royal Highness clarified that he had been arrested a few days ago and that, for lack of a few coins of the white state—a despicable matter of four dollars and 15 cents—he had to stay behind the bars, perhaps forever.
1960, The Worker Esperantist:Ĉu do eĉ en Esperanta movado, celanta ja internacian interkompreniigon, sentiĝas tia premo de rasaj antaŭjuĝoj, ke "koloruloj" devas organiziĝi aparte? Aŭ ĉu la reago kontraŭ la blankula premo rezultigis rasan apartiĝemon?- So then even in the Esperanto movement, aspiring to mutual international understanding, is that pressure of racial prejudices felt that "coloreds" must organize separately? Or did reaction to white pressure cause a tendency towards racial segregation?
