How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I like driving a pricey car, wearing clothes that feel/like they want to be next to my skin./I love not having to be a living, breathing/stereotype because/of my color. (4.8-9)
Andre's reference to "clothes that feel like they want to be next to my skin" is telling. He's not just talking about the comfort of the clothing; he's talking about his right to wear it.
Quote #2
He absorbs the information. Blinks twice./Finally comments, Blond,/huh? Which means, "So she's white?" (12.29)
Andre doesn't say whether or not the other girls he's fooled around with were white. However, if his dad doesn't know he prefers white girls, this might be one more thing he feels he has to hide.
Quote #3
Like how his own wife (my toffee-skinned mom) skews/way toward the Anglo/ideal. Like how she has made a fair/amount of money altering the features/of her African American/sisters, all to make them more "beautiful." (12.35-37)
Money frequently drives people to do ethically questionable things. Andre's mom might not like making black women more "beautiful," but she definitely likes having beautiful things.
