"Real blacks, so dark they looked as if they had just dropped out of a tree in equatorial Africa… mongrels of every shade, mestizos from Central America, Middle Easterners, mulattos, and quadroons, and octoroons, and God only knows what else. And there were Whites too. At least they were genetically White, judging by their features and light skin and hair, but many of them wore hip-hop clothing: backward baseball caps and baggy trousers and rings in their ears. Some of the Whites affected dreadlocks or cornrows.”
