About This Quote

While Trevor was traveling to Jamaica, he found that he was not accepted very easily by two of his friends. They were surprised that their friends had suddenly, without warning become African-American. The two friends flatly refused to be in such close proximity with such a black man and began to make derogatory comments about him. Trevor was somewhat upset, but when one of his friends asked him how it felt to be treated like an outcast, Trevor could not help but smile in delighted relief. That was when he knew his friends would soon be accepting and even embracing him. After all, in the end they were the ones who truly deserved the title "friends."
