Though slavery ended in the 1860s‚ the fight for civil rights continued long after‚ and remains relevant to this day. Slavery is lauded as a non-issue‚ a thing of the past that has no bearing on our current ethos‚ but some maintain a flippant attitude toward casual racism.

Iago slings these racial epithets (and many others) toward Othello to undermine his personhood and to mock characteristics that are the heart of who Othello is.
