Question

To Kill a Mockingbird

Jem describes to Scout the four "folks" or classes of people in Maycomb County: "our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despite the colored folks." What significance, if any, do you --

-- think these characterizations have for people living in other parts of the world? What significance, if any, do they have for us today? (Again, sorry for 2 questions, but its a 2-part question)
