15. Controversil passage #1, Explanation, citation

In entry #1, the writer refers to a white student who has entered the classroom and is in the corner. The writer talks about the white student as a minority: “for his entire life he’s been part of the majority, but as soon as he stepped into the room, he became the minority.”

The writer shows an understanding of the social status based on race, and the negative tension that can arise from having to live with that reality. These notions of separation prevent human connection, not even offering an opportunity for relationships.
