Django Unchained: Was Schultz a total paternal figure or nah?

Okay, so I just rewatched Django Unchained for like, the millionth time (still holds up, tbh!), and something occurred to me. We all see Dr. Schultz as this mentor/father figure to Django, right? He teaches him the ropes, frees him (obvi), and helps him get Zoe back. But like, was it all altruistic? I'm lowkey wondering if Schultz kinda used Django to fulfill his own… I dunno, anti-slavery fantasies? Think about it: Schultz is clearly disgusted by slavery. The scene with the Brittle brothers? Dude's visibly repulsed! But before Django, he's just hunting bounties. Django gives him this purpose, this opportunity to actively FIGHT the system and get paid for it. Maybe Schultz unconsciously saw Django as a tool, even if he genuinely cared about him. Plus it's never really explored why he cares SO much about black people, it's just mentioned he is against slavery for his own reasons. And that brings me to Candyland. Schultz knows it's a trap, right? He even says something like "I couldn't resist" when Django calls him out. Was that really just about sticking it to Calvin Candie, or was part of him subconsciously setting Django up to fully confront the horrors of slavery head-on? Almost like a final test? I'm not saying Schultz is a bad guy, just... maybe a little more complicated than we give him credit for? Thoughts? Also, minor typo, but did anyone else crack up when Django said "They got me in this hot ass wool suit"? Like yeah, it was serious, but the delivery was hilariously modern! Anyway, discuss! Hit me with your opinions, I'm ready for a passionate debate!
