I see your point about Thackery somewhat but he did seem to have a issue upfront with Edwards being Black when they first met. And up until last week didn't give him much professional respect. Other than Edwards mother I don't think we've seen him treat a Black patient. And he didn't know that was Edwards mother at first but he did know she was the beloved house maid of the the Knick's top investor and they are trying to get more funding for equipment. And I don't know if laying with Chinese prostitute is considered down with the swirl.

I guess I consider Cleary a bigot because of his utterance of "dirty coon" in the beginning of the episode. He didn't strike me at as the sort of guy who would risk his life for the good of the Negro.

Gallinger is really the outward bigot of the group I don't think he will ever change.
