It allowed me to start questioning my own experience in reading it. With scout as a narrator, you get wrapped up in her emotions. It's easy to see her as a progressive heroin and everyone else as relics of an evil past. She is in the right. They're in the wrong.<br /><br />But I think you're right. What would Scout do? Does she even see the inequities that exist even in New York? It seems not. She might even live in her own little bubble, blinded by surface level diversity and equality. Ignorance has many faces. There are those who deliberately put others down. There are also those who don't put an effort into understanding the world of their own backyards and doing nothing to build others up. Maybe one of those is worse than the other, but don't they end up with the same result? Apathy or waiting for other people to do the right thing and make positive changes may not directly impede progress, but it certainly doesn't move it along.
