PART 3- Thoughts

"Teddy said he wasn't with Trevor," they said.

"No, we asked Teddy, and he said it wasn't Trevor. He said it was some other kid."

在一开始，作者就说Teddy跟自己各方面一拍即合，也算是作者唯一的朋友了，或者说他们是彼此惟一的朋友。在Teddy被抓之后，实话说看到这段文字，感触颇深，我的兄弟没有把我供出来，自己扛下了事情，抵死不说和他一起的那个人是Tervor。《闻香识女人》里的小哥不也是因为仗义，信守承诺，差点被搞的退学嘛，而且是在和自己切身相关的利益的威胁下。

“At a certain point, I felt so invisible I almost wanted to take credit. I wanted to jump up and point at the TV and say, “Are you people blind?! That’s me! Can you not see that that’s me?!”

But of course I didn’t. And they couldn’t. These people had been so fucked by their own construct of race that they could not see that the white person they were looking for was sitting right in front of them.”

其实事实很好推理，真相也显而易见，为什么这些人看不出来呢？真的是“colorblind”吗？是的，真的是。种族，肤色已经深深植根于这些人心里，种族隔离是作者经历的始作俑者，但是在其中也让作者在某些方面“受益”，不是吗？He is who he is because of the experiences all he had experienced .
