For this question, we do not have access to the text of "An Ordinary Man" by Paul Rusesabagina. Therefore, we cannot provide explicit textual evidence. Nevertheless, we can still look at what Rusesabagina appears to feel in regard to the Hutus and Tutsis.

Paul Rusesabagina is a Rwandian humanitarian. He was the manager of the Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali. During the genocide, Rusesabagina hid 1,268 refugees from death. All of them survived.

Rusesabagina did not believe that there were significant differences between Hutu and Tutsi people. In particular, he did not think that any of those differences should be considered justification for hate or violence. Therefore, he believed that this distinction should not exist. Moreover, he describes his family when explaining these differences because he was born to a Hutu father and a Tutsi mother, and he married a Tutsi woman as well.
