“In the south, you see, a "lady" takes for granted the slave-psychology in those she regards as her "social inferiors." Not merely does she expect immediate obedience from all members of the colored race; she feels the same way about policemen in uniform--it would never occur to her to think of a policeman as anything but a servant, prepared to behave as such.”

“While in junior high school, I became aware of social castes and realized they were weightier than racial categories. In the seventh grade, for the first time in my life, I was subjected to condescension by children of wealth, most of whom I considered jerks. It was frustrating because normal remedies did not apply: punching them out, earning better grades, consigning them to the bench in sports--nothing seemed to weaken the mind-set that assigned me an intrinsically inferior status: I still lived in Oildale and they summered in La Cresta; I summered at a packing shed, they summered at a country club.”
