Racism

Hurry Harry is repeatedly described as a racist. He despises the Native Americans like only a man raised in hateful supremacist ideology can. Accordingly to his culture, Hurry is superior to the natives, so he loathes them for their accomplishments. He views them as competition, for food, land, and women. Naturally this sense of rivalry breeds contempt between him and people of different races, whom he doesn't understand nor trust.
