“Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do., because they’re so frightfully clever. I’m really awfully glad I’m  Beta, because I don’t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don’t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They’re too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I’m so glad I’m beta. (27)

It's ridiculous how certain parts of the caste wears different colors to show a distinction. It's so materialistic of them, and it's really shallow to identify the people by the color they wear. This reminds of me racism. Thankfully we've overcame the difference in skin color, and we realize how ignorant it is, and that we are equally capable of doing everything. These people are identify one another and judging them by the color have on when it shouldn't be like that. They should all question why is this happening, and overcome it as a whole and end the Director's powers. The worse is these are words of a young child. We would expect a young child to think that shallow, but it's not only the child, it's the entire community that thinks this way. The people in their community are causing the inequality amongst each other.
