Roderigo [to Iago]
Original-
“What a full fortune does Thick-lips owe if he can carry't thus!”
Modern-
“Thick-lips sure is lucky if he can pull this off!”
[thick-lips
is a racial slur towards Othello—the Moor]
This is a great example of racial alienation because they are speaking with the racial term 'thick-lips' in response to the jealousy of Othello winning the love, and marrying the beautiful rich Desdemona.
