The Tortilla Curtain

The connections between the other books we have read and their book were insightful and the presentation overall was very balanced and exciting.

What I learned:
-Connection between Tortilla Curtain/Iron Curtain, the tortilla is flimsy and therefore ineffective as a wall as opposed to iron.
-Hard work might not be enough to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of the American Dream, such systemic racism that seems to pervade throughout society.

Questions:
Why is it that people fall into racism despite not necessarily being racist?
