What if it's not so much the skin colour as the cultural differences? Does she speak a slightly different way, is her tone more abrupt then he is used to, the most noticable difference to him is the colour but what if its just her personality and he isn't sure how to articulate that? I do believe hate can be taught and I try to unlearn the things my parent told me as a child. I have no ill will towards any other race but at the same time I have never had a friend that was anything other then white or mexican.
