Quote #4
"I don't like colored people," Mr. Hooft said. "Nothing personal, I just don't like them. And you're a colored criminal and I don't like criminals, either." (7.96)
It really isn't personal, Reese—Mr. Hooft is just a total racist. That said, it affects Reese on a personal level since the guy's a total turd to him on a number of occasions.
Quote #5
"What they know most from that is that you didn't finish regular high school," Diego said. "That puts you on a whole different level than kids who finish high school with a regular diploma." (9.7)
Diego thinks people are prejudiced against adults with GEDs, and he worries that the degree doesn't hold the same weight as a "real" high school diploma. Do you think he's right?
Quote #6
"You don't know anything. That's why you're in jail." (13.23)
Mr. Hooft assumes that anyone who's in jail is stupid or ignorant. Reese, who is smart and thoughtful, proves him wrong, though. How's that foot tasting, Mr. Hooft?
