Show him the passage in that copy of “Notes on Racial Phylogeny and Biology” that you’ve been keeping around (purely out of academic interest, of course) which elaborates on the physiological differences between humans and beast-folk.

Dmitri: Also, there is no such thing as bad luck. If someone were to, for example, walk under a ladder, this would raise the amount of bad luck they have temporarily. This raises the odds that something else will happen that will give them even worse luck, and so ad infinitum, at least until they were the most unlucky person in the world. Because this does not happen, one can infer that bad luck simply does not exist, quod erat demonstrandum.

“That’s…”

“Racist, speciesist, and impossible. Pardon my colloquialism, but I’m pretty sure that makes you a jerk, an asshole, and an idiot. I don’t know whether I should be offended or feel bad for you.”

“Look, I’ve got a copy of “Notes on Racial Phylogeny” right over here. It specifically says there’s never been a single documented case of a khajiit hybrid. That means it’s either completely impossible or incredibly unlikely. And even if it was possible, you don’t know if they’d be black. Khajiit biology is already the weirdest thing ever and I’m not even sure if parental genetics plays a role.”

“And even if black cats did happen, luck doesn’t compound. Sometimes people have good luck and then it goes away, sometimes people have bad luck and then it goes away. Bad luck doesn’t constantly cause itself to worsen any more than good luck causes itself to get even better. If that happened, everyone who had the slightest bit of good luck would suddenly have all the luck, and anyone who had the slightest bit of bad luck would be miserable forever. And that’s ridiculous! Someone having bad luck doesn’t mean they’ll have even more bad luck, just like someone having good luck doesn’t mean they’re going to have even more good lu-”
