Everyone was just having fun at the dance until the police showed up. The police proceeded to arrest many people without a reason

# data[].attributes.body
Henry believes that the only reason why he is in jail is because of his ethnicity rather than committing a crime.

# data[].attributes.body
"LT. EDWARDS: Come on, Hank, you know why you're here.

HENRY: Yeah. I'm a Mexican" (31)

# data[].attributes.body
Will Henry make it to the Navy? Why are pachucos and draft dodgers considered as "malcontents?"

# data[].attributes.body
It showed that press can write want they want if they talked about how Mexican gang can kill innocent people.

"One Killed, Ten Hurt in Boy Wars: Mexican Boy Gangs Operating Within City." (pg 28)

The only reason that press makes henry's gang as bunch of crime its because that bring more money and it easy to attack color people.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the press makes Henry's gang as bunch of criminal?

# data[].attributes.body
Will henry make it to the navy?

What will happen to el pachuco?

During this time people didn’t see them as equals. They saw them as animals they had to keep in line because of all the havoc they cause in the city.

# data[].attributes.body
“Forget it, Lieutenant. You can’t treat these animals like people.”  (pg:32, s:4)

# data[].attributes.body
cops keep profiling all latinos as part of gangs even if there are not

# data[].attributes.body
You can see how racism is present during this time, how the officer claims he made a mistake arresting him for the thinking he stole the car, which insinuates that latinos are know for stealing

# data[].attributes.body
"They turned it into a gang, Lieutenant. Everything they touch turns to shit."

# data[].attributes.body
"They're going to do it again, ese! They're going to charge me with some phony rap and keep me until they make something stick."

# data[].attributes.body
The Latinos being the targeted ones for dancing

# data[].attributes.body
"All right. That was a mistake. I didn't know it was your father's car. I tried to make it up to you. Didn't I help you set up that youth club?"

# data[].attributes.body
the public relates all crimes to Latino gangs

# data[].attributes.body
The police arrested them even though they weren't doing anything. Even the Latinos notice the prejudice that the cops have towards their race.

# data[].attributes.body
the cops assumed that Latin people were apart of a gang.

# data[].attributes.body
"Come on, Hank, you know why you're here."
"Yeah. I'm a Mexican."

# data[].attributes.body
What are the disadvantages that the hispanics have to lead to joining a gang and feel that's where they belong?

# data[].attributes.body
the language and actions of the police towards the latinos when they arrested them

# data[].attributes.body
"They turned it into a gang, Lieutenant. Everything they touch turns to shit."

# data[].attributes.body
"The city's cracking down on pachucos, carnal. Don't you read the newspapers? They're screaming for blood."

# data[].attributes.body
The cops were being racist towards the latinos because of the color of their skin.

# data[].attributes.body
The news people discuss the current issues, they see what's going on as a war

# data[].attributes.body
The Latinos are the ones being targeted in this whole
situation.

# data[].attributes.body
An example of racism is when they were arrested for no reason, they were just dancing.

# data[].attributes.body
-The lieutenant arrested Hank and his friends because a murder happened, and because of their race they were the primary suspects.
-   The Sargent was saying how Hank’s race is no good and ruins everything they touch.
-  A police officer doesn’t have the right to attack someone for not giving up information regardless of race.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the Lieutenant care more about Henry ,and making sure he gets into the navy, then the other Latinos?

# data[].attributes.headline
"Police Arrest Mexican Youths." (pg. 29)

The Latinos got arrested for just dancing because the police believed that all Latinos were dangerous.

"They turned into a gang, Lieutenant. Everything they touch turns to shit" (p 31, scene 4).

# data[].attributes.body
The latinos were arrested for not doing anything wrong. They were dancing and were arrested because of their race.

What happened at the Sleepy Lagoon?

# data[].attributes.body
-   “ ‘Come on, hank, you know why you’re here.’ ‘Yeah. I’m Mexican.’ “ (pg 31 scene 4)
-  “We’ve got enough dope on you to indict you for murder” (pg32 scene 4)
-  “ they turned it into a gang, lieutenant. Everything they touch turns to shit.”( Pg 31 scene 4)
-  “You greasy son of a bitch. What happened at the sleepy lagoon? Talk! Talk! Talk! (Smith beats Henry with a rubber cap. Henry passes out and falls to the floor) (pg 33 scene 4)

# data[].attributes.body
-The first incident of racism was when the two gangs were just dancing together and then all of the sudden the cops came and arrested some of them.
- when they were interrogating Hank.
-the Sargent gets fed up with Hank and decides to physically attack him

# data[].attributes.body
Why do the police treat hispanics poorly? Why are they racist toward them?

# data[].attributes.body
Why were the latinos being discriminated against? Why are the latinos being targeted?

# data[].attributes.body
A question I have is what is going to happen to El Pachuco?

# data[].attributes.body
The police in this play are portrayed as viewing hispanics/latinos as almost all dangerous and gangbangers and they place all hispanics/latinos under 1 of those two categories which is not 100% true.

# data[].attributes.body
What happens to Henry? Will he make it to the navy?

# data[].attributes.body
What will happen to Henry?

# data[].attributes.headline
All hispanics are seen as gang bangers by the police, even if they aren't or are planning to change.

# data[].attributes.body
If many of the gang have been arrested before, why haven't they been permanently locked up? will Henry make it to the navy?

# data[].attributes.body
The cops hold assumptions on Latin people who are in a gang. They do not bother to think about who they really are and instead unfairly consider them violent and reckless towards society.

# data[].attributes.body
A question I have is based on what happens to him throughout the rest of the story: Will Henry make it into the Navy still?

# data[].attributes.body
" Screw them bastard cops ( p30

# data[].attributes.body
Henry was stucked in his fate as Mexican.

# data[].attributes.body
Is that what your want to go out and die for?Wise up. These bastard paddy cop have it in for . You're a marked man. (P30)

# data[].attributes.body
" 'Come on, hank, you know why you’re here.’ ‘Yeah. I’m Mexican.’ “ (pg.31, scene: 4)

# data[].attributes.body
At this time and in that specific area of L.A. almost all latinos/hispanics are viewed as gangbangers even if they aren't associated with any of that.

# data[].attributes.body
As a marked man, what a reaction of Heney with  his friend's suggestion?

# data[].attributes.body
What will happen with Henry and will he even make it to the navy? Could it be that the police is actually scared of hispanics/latinos because they might be outnumbered?

# data[].attributes.body
Society in that area view Hispanics as "dangerous" and are constantly being watched by the police. What is the fate of El Pachuco?
