"This is a society where being a racist is character suicide. It can get your business boycotted, get you fired, socially isolated from society, what have you. Trust me, it's too much, even for those who share your philosophy around these parts. There's a reason even some militarists that share your ideals hate your guts: the social stigma surroundin' racism is that strong here, and I'm sorry that I offend, but I'm glad it's that way. Of course, you may have a different opinion on that, but it is what it is. Returnin' to the days of the Old Empire where beings like me could get shot for criticizin' a human governor from the Core, where racism was rampant and everythin' was tyranny...our ancestors sure tolerated a lot. I'm surprised the late Empress Alice of that time managed to change our society from all that hate between the various races and social classes that had built up over the millenia! That woman from a millenia ago is like a god around these parts for all the good she did, keepin' the country together, forging a new national identity and all that. Read her story when you get a chance so you don't get caught insultin' her, or there'll be hell to pay with those politicians and with many Ryccians. Insultin' her of all national heroes would be unforgivable, and they'll want your head on a smooth sapphire plater for it, ha ha ha!"
