"Lazuli" is a word in ENGLISH
A mineral of a fine azure-blue color, usually in small
rounded masses. It is essentially a silicate of alumina, lime, and
soda, with some sodium sulphide, is often marked by yellow spots or
veins of sulphide of iron, and is much valued for ornamental work.
Called also lapis lazuli, and Armenian stone.
High Europe always played at ethnic contempt because it was High Europe, and so had the strength, the authority, to make the racial rules. We great unwashed of the outer world, on the coasts of new continents, though we might ourselves have behaved atrociously to indigenes, were baffled by the determination with which Europe returned to the frenzies of racial myth. Nice boys and not-so-nice boys took up the theme, put on the uniform, did the dirty work.
