“The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven”

"The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven"
The story is about an Indian living in Seattle with a women who he argues with frequently. he describes one night where he goes to a 7-11 store and the man suspects him to be dangerous just because of the way he looks. He also describes a time when he was driving around and got lost in a higher scale neighborhood was and got pulled over by the cops. The cops thought he was suspicious because he was indian and didnt belong in that area. The indian doesnt think he fits the profile for the whole country, not just that neighborhood. The story continues with him going back home to live with his parents and become a bum who watches t.v. all day. The author describes is characters as either white or indian. He must be trying to get a point across that there is tension between the two races.
