When Athena visited her sister Aphrodite to request help against Mikaboshi, the Goddess of Love was being fanned by two hunky men clan only in Speedo-like swim briefs. One man was white (Caucasian). The other man was "red" (Native American). Aphrodite told Athena: "...you are my guest. Where are my manners? Might you require something by way of refreshment? I can off you a red... or a white..."
Aphrodite was offering refreshment using the words "red" and "white" as one might offer red or white wine, but she was clearly offering an intimate dalliance with one of the two "boy toys" fanning her.
Athena, the virgin goddess, was unimpressed and responded, "Wow. That's so incredibly subtle. I have no idea what you meant by that at all."
Aphrodite's boy toys, who we might call "Red"and "White" never said anything during the two pages they appeared fanning the bikini-clad goddess. It is not entirely clear whether or not these two men worship in Greco-Roman classical religion as their religious preference, but they clearly "worshipped" Aphrodite.
"White" demonstrates a particularly worshipful pose in panel 5 on page 6, with his hands together and his head bowed to Aphrodite as if he is in prayer or displaying absolute obeisance.
Aphrodite at that moment points to him and instructs: "You... come here and discover some new way of pleasuring me..."
