He cannot look beyond the fact that she is black. Examples on this is when she enters the office and he is dumbstruck when he sees that the doctor is a black woman. But also later during shouting he stops himself asking what he is doing shouting at a black woman. .
Donald Woods is as mentioned above fighting the Government and the race laws. He finds some of the race laws absurd and instead of these he wants South African laws that are effective to both Whites and Blacks. But still he wants some differences between races when it comes to government and administration. .
Through his actions we can see that he fights with all his might because if he did not he would not risk the paper time and again by printing editorials and publishing pictures that are damaging to the Government, like the ones from the raid on Crossroad are. This also shows that he does not have a problem with speaking his mind, almost no matter what there will happen afterwards - he knows that he sacrifices himself and the paper every time he does this.
Woods thinks that the Crossroad's raid was a violation of the human rights and it was like all the other attacks hypocritical and immoral of the Government. Because on one hand they would like the Blacks to stay so that they can benefit from cheap labour, but on the other hand they attack them because they are there.
"Black supremacy will save the world" (p.24, ll.4). This is how Woods sees Steve Biko's opinions. From Woods" point of view Steve Biko is a sensationalist trying to push black prejudice, and because of this Woods sees it as if Biko is ruining it for all the other Blacks by asking for more than he should. He sees him as a nutcase whose hatred against Whites is something he will be fighting till the end. .
Form this we see that Donald Woods is not one of the worst racists, because he is open and willing to change the system, which most of the Whites are not - Woods has the potential of changing, and many has not.
