When a 7-year-old Indian Brit reads what it is to be White, the context and our sense of understanding is confused. In the backdrop of a colonized Indian home, we misinterpret what it is to be the norm, because a minor cannot construe his identity, let alone a minor who is also an ethnic minority. This is amplified when he audience misinterprets the meaning behind the words; the importance of the the author is lost in the mode of discrepancy.
