Biography:
The "groom" in The Reivers who leads the skittish horse Acheron up to the starting line is not described (230). He could be black, like McWillie and the other man who works in Linscomb's stable, but typically Faulkner's fiction will specify race when a character is not white, so on that basis we interpret this man as 'white.'
