My lens that I am focusing on is race and in this book there seems to be a few quotes in which I think could be racist. In the following quote that I decided to chose we could see the racism that there is to different race of people and not just to African American people. Guitar states that, “No. White people are unnatural. As a race they are unnatural.” It’s interesting to see how far this idea and stereotype has come along. In this quote though, Guitar can’t find an explanation of the ability of white people committing such hate crimes. Milkman tries to argue against what Guitar has said by saying that good white people do exist. Today we see the similar bias on people having this perspective towards white people. We could see how much racism and perspectives has been the same and is true that the only way to stop racism is that it should not be talked about. Because the more it is talked about to each generation, it will continue to carry on and be harder to stop racism.
