Willful ignorance such as his is instilled at birth, if not before. To hate without knowing? Where is the wisdom in that? You have found the strength not to be ignorant, and for that I salute you.
I am Edema Ruh, quite similar to his depiction of your 'gypsies.' I am proud of my blood, and of my family, and yet since the time I was a very young child I have faced great hatred and prejudice because of it.
I won't let that happen here. And as much as I respect you and am looking forward to our lessons, if I must choose between my family and your brother's bigotry, I will choose my family.
