I'm not sure what you are asking here. Esperanza has been living in an all-Mexican camp and working with only Mexicans for several months. Her encounters with American racism are limited to the immigration raid and the fact that they have to shop at Mr. Yakota’s store. Esperanza feels angry when Isabel loses the Queen of the May title because she knows that Isabel never had a chance. Esperanza's anger increases when she learns that Mexicans can swim in the new pool the day before it is cleaned because everyone assumes that they are dirtier than the other migrant workers.
