My grandfather used to refuse to get on the colored elevators because he'd read Don Quixote in the original Spanish. That, he declared, made him superior to the ignorant, uneducated, uncultured white folk. I don't think anyone had the nerve to correct him, and they made exceptions for him "just this once."
