Stereotyping and Racism.

Clearly in the first couple of chapters racism was a common talk or brought up in many conversations. On pg. 37 was a clear example of this: "Don't you believe a word he says, Dill" I said. "Calpurnia says thats nigger-talk."
Jem scowled darkly at me, but said, " Well are we going to play anything or not?"
The term "nigger-talk" probably something that Scout have never heard before so when she said it Jem gave her a look even though Scout didn't know why.
I think Scout is an inocent kid. She is in the first grade and is in an enviroment around her where racist comments and trems are used in a conversation. She does not know any better so from the things she has heard and she is picking up asuming that they are okay just becasue she does not know any better. So I don't blame Scout for repeating something that she heard even though it is not right.
