Answer:

He starts to compare how the perception of race is different for those who were raised in classes that did not have people of "races" other than his own, with those who were raised in places with people of different "races"

Explanation:

Donley begins to argue in his text, about how the perception of concepts and race one has about it are different from the environment in which a person l was raised and from the people with whom that person has contact.

Also, it shows how this perception impact people's thoughts about what it means to be part to each race and this meaning determine a standard, a stereotype related to citizens, the place where they live and the people around them.

Donley does this, through methods of juxtapositions and comparisons whose main priority is to show the reader a certain duality by reasoning in this matter in a profound way. This is seen in the excerpt:

In fact, my childhood was like a social science experiment: Find out what being middle class truly is by raising a kid from a so-called good family in a so called bad neighborhood. with a definition of whiteness by putting a light skinned kid in the midst of a community of color. If the anomaly provides the rule, I am that exception.
