Had Don Bosco, since we last visited, been miraculously transformed by the spirit of Christian brotherhood? Had the eternal benevolence of the Lord cleansed the students of their vile? Negro, please. Certainly the school struck Oscar as smaller now, and the older brothers all seemed to have acquired the Innsmouth "look" in the past five years, and there were a grip more kids of color—but some things (like white supremacy and people-of-color hate) never change: the same charge of gleeful sadism that he remembered from his youth still electrified the halls. (2.6.1.3)
