"You see, our late father… grandfather, and great-grandfather believed in race purity. That's why you'd be looked down on if you marry a woman or man that's not white," Vernon explained. "I have the same mindset, but after I left for ten years, I met many new people from the circle that the Gray family knows. I also had my fair share of befriending or dating women from other races. I found there's nothing wrong with dating them. Even engaging in a sexual relationship with them is no problem."
'Wow, what kind of sick, old-fashioned way of thinking,' Diamond thought. 'I know that Vernon is an ass. But I didn't know that his family is worse than him.'
"Is that also why you hired me in the first place?" Diamond asked again. "Because I'm black?"
