This guy was clearly not white and there was no world in which he would ever be able to pass as white, so it made sense that he would ask Sirius, who was also so clearly non-white, about how bad the racism problem in the building would be.<br/>It took Sirius only a moment to gather himself enough to actually answer the question.<br/>“Oh it ain’t bad,” he said with a shrug, running a hand over his hair, catching a couple of stray strands that hade escaped his bun.<br/>“A pretty diverse burn we are in here,” he added, his whole focus on James rather than his entourage. Despite everything that Sirius knew about him, he found that he liked him a lot so far and figured that it was almost a shame that he couldn’t stand.<br/>“Sad to be leaving.”
