"I knew it was curious for me to have such a strong connection to a person who shared none of my interests of values. A person who was from a cultural background completely different from mine with a Klan mentality of aversion toward all minorities. But our connection was cemented with a powerful glue. It was based on the fact that we were not outcasts, a state of mind and condition that overrode all of those other differences. Outcasts remain bonded long after the cheerleaders and high school jocks have stopped seeing each other."
