At Odds

"...Ryan was red as a beetroot. And Clara was black as her boot."

When the schooling that both Clara and Ryan recieved in Jamaica is talked about I made me think. I started to see that Clara being in her natural environment was only at odds because she was a Jehovah Witness, and Ryan was at odds because he was white. So maybe only in the element of white people are blacks depicted by their hardships because they are the minority in society. Because it doesnt show any evidence that Clara was an outcast because of her color while in Jamaica but rather because of her choice in religion...just a thought. What do you think??
