16. Controversial Passage #2

In entry #2, the writer goes into detail about the clearly drawn lines between “categories” of students. Various lifestyles, including the behavior and dress of students, begin to divide them into cliques. Beverly Hills or Disneyland are the rich white kids, China Town are the Asians, Da Ghetto are the blacks, etc.
The racial divisions and segregations of urban society manifest themselves in smaller form, made apparent by the divisions of the high school students. They are simply imitating the manners and social habits of their families and the world in which they live.
