In the Hate U Give, when Starr is having a conversation with hailey, hailey mentions about what happened to Khalil but refers to him as “drug dealer” What do you think this shows by the way the news portrays Khalil to the media? Why do you think starr says that people might call her "thug ghetto girl with the drug dealer" once they find out she was in the car?

Answer:

The news portays that all black people are drug dealers (with they arent) people will assume that Starr is also a drug dealer. Hopefully this helps
