I have no race prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I care to know is that a man is a human being, and that is enough for me; he can't be any worse.

Summary

In this quote, American writer Mark Twain rejects the idea of prejudice based on race, caste, or creed. Twain expresses his belief in the inherent equality of all human beings, devoid of any discriminatory biases. He asserts that as long as someone is a fellow human being, that is sufficient for him. Twain implies that judgment or condemnation of one's character or abilities based on stereotypes and preconceived notions is baseless, as no individual can be inherently worse simply because of their identity.
