Quote #4
It was a look that I would see many times again as I made my way through France in the coming years—a uniquely Gallic look of nuclear contempt for one's inferiors. (6.7)
Hassan remembers the first time that Mallory looks down on his family by glaring at them from across the street. The basis for her initial dislike of them is based on racial prejudice. She assumes certain things about them, and also assumes that she's better. Not okay.
Quote #5
"Christians," Uncle Mayur snorted contemptuously. "Come, let us go." (6.150)
Hassan's uncle looks across the street at the pig-slaying ceremony and does not find it interesting. He writes it off because it is a practice that's not allowed in their culture (as Muslims, they can't eat pork).
Quote #6
Madame Mallory had never before been called "uncivilized." […] So to be called a barbarian, and by this Indian, to boot, was just too much for her and she smashed Papa on the chest with her fist. (9.40)
Mallory associates her French breeding with automatic good behavior. Not only is it wrong to make such an assumption, but her behavior is generally so terrible that she's, like, extra wrong. She is outraged when Papa calls her out on this—and even her outrage has racist tones to it.
