Always Running: Segregation

“All good people agree,
And all good people say,
All nice people, like Us, are We
And every one else is They:
But if you cross over the sea,
Instead of over the way,
You may end by looking on We
As only a sort of They!” 

-Rudyard Kipling, Debits and Credits

I chose this quote because it explains how people are "they" and people like us are "we" and how we will always find someone else who you caterogize as "they" but "they" are and for always be "we". haha if that make sense I chose this quote because the cops started antagonizing Luis and his crew for being "beaners" but in reality the cops are just like then or if not worse in behavior.

  1. This relates to the book because Mexicans stick together and arent allowed in White communities, making them "we" or "they" because they get labelled because of the color of their skins. They get separated from others because of their skin color.
