Dumas’ quick wit served him well when he was attacked: he famously remarked to a white man who insulted him about his mixed-race background with the following words: “My father was a mulatto, my grandfather was a Negro, and my great-grandfather a monkey. You see, Sir, my family starts where yours ends.”
Reminder from Dumas himself:
"never submit quietly to the slightest indignity", for "it is by his courage alone that a gentleman makes his way nowadays…”
