* A minor add-on - Stephen isn't so much "racist" as "elitist" and "classist". He's got power, he's far better than any of the blacks (or whites), and a ''foreigner'' and a ''free man'' (the latter of which were notoriously poor) coming up to his doorstep, stupid enough to buy a third-rate fighter? That just disgusts him.

Stephen, and Ben before him, were the real masters of Candyland: Calvin Candie, and his father and grandfather before him, were simply too limited intellectually to competently rule Mississippi's fourth bigger plantation: if Calvin and his lawyer are any indication, they were sent to "elite" boarding schools were they were taught little more than to flaunt they status and repeat bullshit like phrenology meant to justify said status and privileges. So Ben, then Stephen, actually ran the plantation business and were the reason it did not collapse under the incompetence of its "legitimate" owners. which also explains things like:
* Why Stephen is more adamant about the rules of the plantation than Calvin (about not freeing Broomhilda from the oven before ten days) because he understands that keeping the rules consistent is necessary to maintain a semblance of order within the plantation: Calvin and his goons are just too dumb to understand it.
* Why Stephen despise the other slaves because he '''IS''' a black slaver: he's not a boomerang biggot, he is just aware, unlike the idiots who "own" him that class trumps biology.
** And of course Why Django does not let him escape and gives him the worst death of the bunch: a black slaver is the lowest of the low.

*** But could that not simply be another indicator of how different the Tarantinoverse is from our own? The biggest and most obvious shift is how World War II ended, but maybe in the past there were smaller differences, such as the Civil War starting in 1860 rather than 1861 like in our world. Perhaps the world of Tarantino's films didn't differ from ours in 1944. Perhaps that universe was simply never ours to begin with.

After Candie strongarms Schultz into paying the $12,000 for Brunhilde, Candie demands Schultz shake his hand. Considering Candie went berserk at the dinner table to the point of cutting his own hand without reacting, Schultz shaking his hand would obviously put him in a vulnerable position for an attack. The fact Candie starting yelling that demand suggests he was adamant for a special reason beyond Southern propriety and Schultz realize that this psycho wants him dead. So, given that Schultz is deep in Candie's plantation with no escape, he might as well take his best shot and hope Django can use the distraction to jump the plantation's thugs for an outside chance to fight his way out. At that, Django does make his move after Schultz is shot in retaliation and given that there are armed men waiting upstairs in the entrance hall and outside the front door, it's obvious Candie didn't intend any of them to get 10 feet out of house alive.

Not really a WMG, but [[IncarnadineZebra this Troper]] was ''certain'' that, when there was all that hemming and hawing, the gag was that he would shake the broken/bloody hand really hard--thus both fulfilling the Southern Hospitality obligation, and giving him the Finger.
