RACIAL PREJUDICE
My name is Drew, not Deandre.

FRIENDSHIP
Let's play some Madden, guys!
There are many examples of racial prejudice as Jordan navigates school. One example is when Ms. Rawle often calls the African American boys by each other’s names without thinking about who she is talking to.
Jordan and Liam become friends almost instantly, even though they come from two very different worlds. Jordan also becomes close friends with Drew, as they have a lot in common. It doesn’t even occur to Jordan that all three of them should hang out until one day when his gran’pa suggests it.
