This shows how everyone has some sort of blind eye and that they even though aren't trying they can be racist Also this story showed false assumptions towards the negro boy since every time she assumed that he had a bad life he proved her wrong and had it just as good as the white family.
Since Pewaukee is such a small suburb there isn't a bad neighborhood or a "east side" where races are diversified. This shows that racism shrank to where it doesn't matter where you live or sit but in Milwaukee where it is big there is some bad neighborhood and bad racism. What Shirley Jackson is trying to show us is that everything isn't so diversified anymore and that racism and false assumptions still go on in everywhere.
