Mr. Multam already is biased towards white doctors, and thinks that they think that they are superior to his country and to his fellow citizens which results in him treating Dr. Hamiska in a harsh way. Mr. Multan thinks that Dr. Hamiska, and perhaps white doctors in general, think that Africa is "a tin-pot country...we are savages",that they just use Africa for the "treasures of [their] soil", and that the Craig Foundation "can bribe my officials to look the other way" (188). In reality, Dr. Hamiska does not care about race or nationality, and just wants to continue his excavations.
"I make it clear we are not your servants. We are your equals. I ask, does it take a white man to dig a whole in the ground?" (188).
