The Role Of Exclusion In The Color Of Water

The subject in The Color of Water is exclusion as a result of racial and religious differences. James and Ruth both deal with a variety of degrees of racial remarks in their lives. Ruth dealt with exclusion being that she was Jewish and was living in the south and then later married a black man while living in a black neighborhood during the black power movement. James grew up witnessing horrible and unfair treatment of black people in his family and his neighborhood. James and Ruth both learned as they grew older that they should not leave out others because of their race or religion because that God love everyone just the same as if we are all equal.
