HINT: a quote from benjamin franklin

The quote all cats are grey in the dark really has nothing to do with cats. It was used by Benjamin Franklin in a letter he wrote to a young friend. He advised the friend to marry and have a wife but if he could not - then he suggested his young friend find an older mistress. Some of the reasons he suggested this was- debauching a virgin might ruin her life - older women were not as pretty as younger ones so they worked harder to please men - old age affects a body from the top down so that is you cover up the top half of the woman you cannot tell her age by by bottom half and of course the above answer "all cats are grey in the dark" meaning that an ugly girl and a pretty girl feel the same with the lights out.

I have to agree with the racist thing hes saying that if you cant see the person behind what you need that the answer would still be right but when you do see it causes judgement. Its sort of about stereotyping.

considering that it is in the dark and humans need light to see i'd say that we'd never know would we ? Can't see in the dark.

I think it is regarding racism. It implies that at some point, all are the same. No difference in color.
