Delaney In 'I Told You He Was Mexican'
“I told you he was mexican” (Boyle,15).
Delaney hit Candido with a car, and by including the fact that he was hispanic showed that he was racist against them. He felt that since Candido was hispanic he wasn’t going to be sued by him, so there was no need of seeing if Candidio was alright, he gave him twenty dollars for hitting him.
The quote depicts that carelessness of Delaney and characterizes him as prejudice.
“For a long moment they stood there, examining each other, unwitting perpetrator and unwitting victim and then the man let the useless bag drop from his fingers with a tinkle of broken glass” (8).
This foreshadows the theme of the prime excursion the two take and eventually end up in together with completely different causes.
