what is this quote trying to say?

"You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can’t have our minorities upset and stirred. Ask yourself. What do we want in the country, above all? People want to be happy, isn’t that right? Haven’t you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well aren’t they? Don’t we keep them moving, don’t we give them fun? That’s all we live for isn’t it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these."
 
This quote is saying that 'the country' draws its pleasure from moving around minorities and that the country is draining the minorities' ability to be happy.
