Response: B) He considers them as lesser than himself.

Explanation:

The statement about Burton's fondness for colored individuals becomes ironic after further reading. He does possess some affection and respect for the maternal figure of "mammy" and sees colored individuals as efficient servants. However, they are expected to "know their place" and should not presume they are equal enough to dine with Burton, which he would refuse to do even offered a fortune. Thus, we observe how such supposed "fondness" is constrained by bias, believing that colored people belong below him.
