I didn't see the skin disease being only an excuse in the bathwater debacle, but I could be wrong. Dick most certainly did have a lot of racial hatred in him, as seen by his frequent spewing of racial epithets when he got angry, and even some of his aside comments when he was more in control. Thankfully, Nicole didn't seem to share this unpleasant side of his character, and seem to recoil from these episodes.
