[Ietrio · Rating 1 out of 5]

A petty mind weaving a personal god from the thoughts of very different people living in different times, the main common point being the brown skin. Hence, Dawson weaves the essence of a Racist thesis in which people start having certain thoughts and desires simply because of the color of their skin.
