So, to make sure I understand: Roger knows that Sam is racist. Sam's racism involves a hatred (Yes, Yesish, or Yope) of black people. Leonore is not white.

When Sam said that Leonore "doesn't seem black," Roger asked whether she blistered after 10 minutes at the beach, to make the obvious point that it's stupid & racist to say that someone's personality & interests make her not seem black. Thanks for sticking with it, everyone, & for solving it, Ciaobella! Three guesses where you can find my next puzzle. | ||
