Wright's Jewish interactions

Wright’s Cultural heritage revolves around disliking other cultures. He goes to church and is taught that Jew’s are the Christ killers and should be distrusted and disliked. But on top of that, popular culture gives him even more direction.
His culture that he sees everyday tells him to avoid, distrust and hate people unlike him, and the most visible example of people to distrust is are the Jews. Whites don’t generally come into the black areas of town, which can be seen in his interactions with the white boys. So to have a white person owning a story right in the middle of black territory gives him a prefect target to go after.
Wright’s religious culture gives him an excuse to go after the Jews, but in reality this is just example of the general distrust the blacks have for the whites.
