Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got an invitation to a pay party from a guy at work. I'm looking a little suspiciously at the invitee list, because I don't know this guy all that well. It just seems to be a random group of non-white people in IT.

Oh, I think they're both likely true, but this particular thing can probably be attributed to the latter.

Because books.
