You've captured some of the painful realities of how fear / vengance can be the source of groups holding onto damaging racial views / practices that don't fit anymore. I do understand the source of some of the comments you have the characters refering but we really are in a place when we know better. There are crappy people in every race just as there are beautiful and nurturing people in each. There is humour in how she notices the mannerisms of the elder generation. You have her mother making gestures that would cower her as a child yet she reads as a little bit of drama / manipulation now. I'll definately read this one to the end. You've piqued my interest.
