** While Dutch recruits a fairly diverse gang and seems to treat them equally in a manner unheard of for the period, he has an open disdain of Catholics, Southerners, and Italians. It's unclear exactly how much of this is a personal dislike of Angelo Bronte, the Italian, Catholic Mafia leader of Saint Denis, and how much is genuine bigotry; his first description of the city is as a town of "Papists and rapists", though he seems to be commiserating with Arthur how different a place it is from what they're used to. His dislike of Southerners has no qualifiers, though, as his father died fighting them in the Civil War (presumably at the Battle of Gettysburg), and he sees simultaneously conning the Braithwaites and Grays as "payback" -- [[RevengeBeforeReason a concept Arthur has misgivings over from the very beginning]].
*** Dutch doesn't tolerate Bill, a member of his own gang, expressing racist views, and will sometimes chide his ignorance or give him a very stern lecture to stop bullying Lenny and call him by his proper name. Micah, meanwhile, is even more venomous and passive-aggressive in his bigotry, and takes great pleasure in singling out the minorities in the gang for verbal abuse; notably, while Lenny may laugh Bill off as a harmless fool, he ''hates'' Micah. If Dutch ever happened to get any complaints or counsel from Hosea about Micah's behavior, he did nothing meaningful to stop it.
