Prejudice and Bigotry. Written in the 1970s, a time of social change in America, The Westing Game portrays an ensemble of “16 imperfect ethnics” in order to expose the prejudices and stereotypes to which people of racial and ethnic minorities and various ranges of disabilities are unfairly subjected.
During the 1970s, when it was a time of social change in America, The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin became a book. The book portrays an ensemble of “16 imperfect ethnics” to expose the prejudices and stereotypes to which people of racial and ethnic minorities and various ranges of disabilities are unfairly subjected. As a diverse group, these characters’ varied experiences show how, contrary to the message of acceptance in American society, people’s differences are often used against them. Raskin crafts a novel that argues that bigotry has unfortunately become part of the fabric of American society by highlighting how racism and ableism weave their way into American ideology. In addition, Raskin conveys that it must be annihilated before it weakens and divides the nation.
The book conveys the idea that without bigotry and prejudice against immigrants, the disabled, and racial and ethnic minorities, America could live up to its promises.
