First, Lennie has been discriminated against because of his mental intelligence. “‘You jus’ stand there and don’t say nothing. If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are, we won’t get no job,’” (6). In this example, George is upset with Lennie because of mistakes Lennie keeps making. George is worried that Lennie will prevent them from getting a job based on Lennie's lack of intelligence. George even goes him as far as to tell Lennie not to speak around the bosses because he would sound stupid.
