December 16. When you see this, quote Leo McGarry.
Leo: The President's personal aide, they're looking at a kid. Do you have any problem with a young black man waiting on the President?
Fitz: I'm an old black man and I wait on the President.
Leo: The kid's gotta carry his bags...
Fitz: You gonna pay him a decent wage?
Leo: Yeah.
Fitz: You gonna treat him with respect in the workplace?
Leo: Yeah.
Fitz: Then what the hell should I care?
Leo: That's what I thought.
Fitz: I've got some real honest-to-God battles to fight, Leo. I don't have time for the cosmetic ones.
Leo: Thanks, Admiral. Good luck.
