Point of view
If you were stereotyped based on you race ethnicity how would you handle that situation you would you fight or tell somebody about it? Well that is how the main character junior fells like he thinks it is better to fight then to tell on somebody. He thinks he should fight because it is against the Indian race to be made a fool and or be made fun of.
It all started when told is former best friend rowdy he was going to move to a different school that had white people in instead of the reservation school he is in now. But when he moved he did not realize how the people would treat the only Indian kid at the school. When junior gets to the new school he realizes that the people treat him like a white person killer. So they call him Custer killer, red skin, and yellow neck.
What junior did do in this situation is he punched the biggest lock that was making fun of him granted he probably could have beat him up but junior bluffed and made it look like he was all tough and the jocks walked away. Then they respected him for standing up for himself I can relate to this because when I was playing football this kid kept making fun of me so the next play I put him on his butt and he never did it again. But if he hadn’t done this they would have continued to make fun of him. Junior would see it as he is making fun of me and I need to punch him in the face. If you make fun of my family, friends, neighbors, or me you are going to get punched in the face no matter how tough that person is he will punch them.
If you were stereotyped based on you race ethnicity how would you handle that situation you would you fight or tell somebody about it? Well I would do what he did and defend myself and tell a teacher or a parent. Because it would not be fair for me.
