A Tale of Two Families

As I reviewed the storyline presented in Tale of Two Families, I easily saw that my experience has been most like Max's rather than Byron's. My parents have enough net worth that they can afford to help me if I eve needed it, and were able to pay for my college education without any loans.

I think that these stories don't directly attest to the effect of race, but to the effect of wealth. Insomuch as there is a wealth gap between the races, however, my opportunities have been shaped by my racial/ethnic identity.
