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.
