Recent arrivals are willing to work for little or nothing, but black Americans are geared to white Americans' goals and want to be paid a decent wage.

...homosexual, has the easier time doing so. His secret life revolves around the fool's-gold romanticism of old movies. To be precise, one World War II melodrama in which, as he remembers and recounts it, the Gestapo were the heroes and the French Resistance the villains.
