The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

In the short story, “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven,” it showed how the Indian was judged based on his race.  For instance in 7-11 where he went in to buy a Creamsicle the white cashier kept looking at him like he was going to rob the place.  Also when he was pulled over by the police, the officer said “you’re making people nervous. You don’t fit the profile of the neighborhood.”  I believe that it is wrong to profile people just based on looks.  The Indian in the story talks about his relationship with his white girlfriend.  They seemed to also argue with each other.  He would throw lamps and break them.  He would insult her because she was a kindergarten teacher saying, “hey schoolmarm, did your kids teach you anything new today?”  I think that he left her because of the dream he had of whites and Indians fighting against each other.  I think that their relationship was bad because of the racism around them.  I think that most of this story had to do with whites and Indians fighting because at the end of the story he gets a phone call at his work from his former girlfriend and he asked her “what’s going to happen to us?”  She responded with “I don’t know; I want to change the world.”  I think what she meant was she wanted to stop all the racism between whites and indians in order to make the world a better place so they can be together without discrimination.
