Double Meaning

"Aziz was exquisitely dressed, from tie-pin to spats, but he had forgotten his back-collar stud, and there you have the Indian all over; inattention to detail, the fundamental slackness that reveals the race."

When Ronnie criticizes Aziz about his collar stud I find what he says to have a double meaning not intended by Ronnie, but by Forster. I think that when Ronnie says that "there you have the Indian," it is very true. There you have the Indian. Maybe by taking out his own collar stud could be the same as giving someone the clothes off your own back. Without knowing it Ronnie stated a true statement, there you have it, the Indians, a giving people.
