Hello everyone,
From the book Thank You for Being Late by Thomas Friedman.
A Somali girl answers Mr. Friedman's question about discriminaion (if she and hersister faced much discrimination).
There was a little bit of division between the general colored people and then the white people and the Jewish people and the Somali people. We were African only and not African American . . . It was complicated and there are those people you get along with. But obviously in English or history classes topics come up that you have to discuss, and they can get uncomfortable and sometimes people have their opinions.
Does "division" here imply separation (Jewish people communicate only or usually with Jewish people, Somali people communicate only with Somali people etc)?
Or does it imply difference in opinion?
Thank you.
