Quote #10
These Latin women, even when the bullets are flying and the bombs are falling, they want to make sure you have a full stomach, your shirt is ironed, your handkerchief is fresh. It's what makes the nice girls from polite society great hostesses, and the girls at Tatica's such obliging lovers. (3.1.51)
Victor Hubbard's creepily sexist ideas about women being good for cooking, cleaning and love-making are combined with his creepy ideas of "Latin" women being exotic. He seems to prefer "Latin women" as sexual partners because they come closer to his ideas about ideal femininity. Gross.
