"It is a judgement maimed and most imperfect/ That will confess perfection so could err" (1.3. 99-100).
This quote supports the idea of racism in this play. Brabantio remarks that his daughter's decision to marry Othello was messed up and ruins her perfection. In this way Brabantio is a hypocrite. He praises Othello for his accomplishment, but when he marries his daughter, he uses very racist terms toward him.
Does Brabantio truly accept the marriage of his daughter and Othello?
