"Atticus says cheatin' a colored man is ten times worse than cheatin' a white man," I muttered. "Says it's the worst thing you can do."
Uh.... What?
Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't make sense. In a time of such strong racism, why would Atticus (even though he is very tolerant for a white man in this time period) say this? Cheating anyone is bad, and saying something like "cheating people is one of the worst things you can do" would make sense. Anyone help me out with this?

True, cheating anyone is bad, but I guess that cheating a black man is worse because of the racism they are having in Maycomb and the time period. That's my guess.
