In this section of the reading, Mona is reacquainted with Sherman. On page 231, Mona tells Sherman that "Jews believe in the here and now; Catholics believe in heaven; the Chinese believe in the next generation." What do Americans believe in? Has Mona been acting like a typical American throughout the course of the book, or has she been completely counter conventional?
Mona also has several conversations with her parents where she accuses them of being racist. Are her parents officially racist because they have fired Alfred and have hired more waiters from China? Or, are they just worried about the future of their daughter and their restaurant? Analyze the stereotypes mentioned in this chapter.
