Oh. I thought it was about the ridiculousness of trends that separate the haves from the have-nots.

Like when my grandpa said, “When I was a kid, having holes in your jeans meant you were poor.”

Honestly asking you as the expert: do you think it is solely about race?

Not solely, perhaps. I believe the actual word he used himself was "discrimination." But I think it's not coincidental that he write that book in 1961, in the midst of the US civil rights movement, and that the difference between the two Speech tribes is something cosmetically visual on their skin.
