. Linda was a
young Puerto Rican girl studying in a New
York City high school. She was once suspected of
smoking with a group of troublemakers and was punished with them by the
principal. She was thought so because when she was interviewed by the
principal, she avoided meeting his eyes and only stared down at the floor,
hence being regarded as sly and dishonest. Her mother insisted that she was a
good girl while the principle firmly believed that she was not. This led to a
demonstration of Puerto Rican parents at the school the next morning. And later
the principal found that Linda was indeed a gentle and sweet girl.

conversation with a young lady from the local group. As the lady talked, she
appeared to be making a physical advance, moving toward Linda every time Linda
moved away. Eventually, Linda found her back against the wall, unable to
retreat any further. Concerned and uncomfortable, she excused herself curtly,
left the party, and did not attend any others. Why?
