Jojo seems stuck in the OT, with the division into races based on the 
sons of Noah. I suspect he thinks the darker folks (Hamites) are 
inferior and made to be servants. That he has thought no more deeply 
about race than he clearly has suggests some need to classify people in 
a way that makes it easy for him to label folks without knowing them at all.
