Unfortunately, Scotty, while I don't really disagree with your point, you've
made the mistake of posting quotes from a PC'd version of "Vale" into the
fray.  This merely serves to further confuse an already grossly confusing
(and perhaps pointless) argument.

For example:

>You care naught that a man of your race has been foully done to death by
>these dogs - that I am their slave!

The original reads:

    You care naught that a man of your own color has been foully done to
    death by these black dogs - that a white woman is their slave!

and again:

>I am not such a dog as to leave a woman in the clutches of a savage

The original:

    I am not such a dog as to leave a white woman in the clutches of a black
    man

There's more, but these jumped out to me as being immediately wrong in your
quotes.  And they were.

You'll have to review a better version than the one you chose for "Vale" if
you really want to make your point stick.
