It seems like a tiny issue to ignore people in the daily live. It is normal that sometimes you feel dislike any specific group of people. In The Sellout, the narrator was slapped by his grandmother and his parents because this black man claims that he is white (188). Moreover, the black kids are not allowed to receive the education in the white kids’ school (193). What is wrong to be born as a black person? Why shouldn’t people blame them just because they are black? In American society in the past decades, racial discrimination becomes a tense issue when it has relentlessly happened in the society. Paul Beatty said, “When someone whiter than us, blacker than us, Chineser than us, better than us, whatever than us, comes around throwing their equality in our faces, it brings out our need to impress, to behave, to tuck in our shirts, do our homework, show up on time, make our free throws, teach, and prove our self-worth in hopes that we won’t be fired, arrested, or trucked away and shot” (208). This piece of evidence proves that Americans treat the racial issue seriously unlike its appearance just as the non-violent activities. Paul Beatty also compares the racial discrimination to the tension in North Korea (196) which makes the racial issue more serious and it needs more attention from American people to solve it as soon as possible.
