RQ's on Noah, P2

Q Explain the significance of the observation "People are willing to accept you if they see you as an outsider trying to assimilate into their world. But when they see you as a fellow tribes member trying to disavow the tribe, that is something they will never forgive." How might this observation apply to Deaf culture? What particular challenges faced "colored" people under apartheid? What was the typical structure of white families and their "domestics"? Why was that significant for Noah?How did Noah's race help keep him from getting arrested for shoplifting? What did the expression "you're a cheeseboy" mean?

This quote is very applicable in the deaf culture, as the community itself is quite small and integrated, therefore accepting the fact that people from inside the culture itself is trying to disavow the tribe might be difficult to accept (Noah, 2016). Laws and apartheid practices made it illegal for Black people to enter cities without first obtaining work. It was against the law for a Black person to be without a passbook. Black people were not allowed to marry white people. They were unable to establish enterprises in white neighborhoods (Noah, 2016).
