East end, west end, what's the difference? The whites live in the west, and the blacks live in the east. But Maniac doesn't see the difference; he's "colorblind, meaning that he doesn't understand what's the difference between blacks and whites. He also thinks that all people all neither black or white... they're "Carmeltan, chocolate, ginger snap, light fudge, acorn, butter rum, cinnamon, and burnt orange. None were black. And, Maniac found seven different shades on his own body;none of them were white, except for his eyeballs, which were just like the blacks'."
