The person who chooses our bosses is of Asian origin. She favours Asian prisoners and they get preferential treatment from her.

I can assure you that Old Vampires never do this. I realise that European humans only stopped thinking of non-whites as sub-human around a century ago, but to us all that matters is that the person is an Old Vampire.

Even if that person is a Servant and no matter what they have or have not done before they became a Servant, they are still an Old Vampire. We do not forget their history, but they are one of us, whatever their colour or race.

Unfortunately this person is not so stupid as to say anything out loud, but her actions speak for themselves.

She will promise the world to the prisoners and then they will turn around to Education and say “the lady promised us this” and we have no way of making good on the promise.

Any Asian prisoner making a complaint to her is heard and it is acted upon, although she takes all the credit while we do all the work. Any non-Asian prisoner’s complaint is ignored.

If any Old Vampire dared to do this they would be taken out by one of us and shown the error of their ways. If it was an Old Vampire Servant their butler would do the same.

It seems that behaviour from white people in Britain towards other races is tolerated less than behaviour towards other races from non-whites.

I have heard complaints that some non-whites only employ others of their own race and colour, whereas whites have to employ other races.

I suspect that this toleration is because of the slave trade, which they are still feeling guilty about, when what is important is what is happening now.

I can assure you that non-white Old Vampires do not show preference for those of their own colour. We would deal with them severely if they did.
