How does Oedipus' race affect his relationship with the other characters in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Race is not a factor in Oedipus' relationships with other characters in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the play's characters are all Greeks. Everyone except Teiresias and the Theban shepherd initially believe Oedipus to be Corinthian born and bred. But his status as a supposed non-native does not jeopardize any interaction. In fact, the entire city loves Oedipus for saving them from the monstrous Sphinx's huge appetite for freshly killed Thebans.

It is unknown whether or not Laius from "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is an actual, historical figure.Specifically, the characters in the story of Theban King Sophocles tend to be considered as within the realm of the imagination. But the place names are actual so there also is the possibility that Laius and other characters are based on actual people experiencing actual events. Two points in favor of Laius as a real person are Oedipus' family connection to Colonus, the place of Oedipus' death and of ancient Greek playwright Sophocles' birth, and the lack of fantastic happenings.
