Quote #4
"Mr. Guizac! You would bring this poor innocent child over here and try to marry her to a half-witted thieving back stinking n*****!" (3.55)
This language is horribly offensive and difficult to read. It seems Mrs. McIntyre's objection to the marriage is based on the fact that Sulk is black. If the groom had been a white man of the same age as Sulk would she still object?
Quote #5
All her life she had been fighting the world's overflow and now she had it in the form of a Pole. (2.71)
This is another passage where Mrs. McIntyre is shown to imagine human beings as garbage or trash because they have the misfortune to be working for her, regardless of race. In this story, the rhetoric of prejudice is the same whether it's based on race or something else.
