Applying multicultural Article

This article focuses on racism in The Great Gatsby. I think it is hard to focus on such an issue when the entire book is made up of white characters. I know the article points out the quote from one of the characters and I definitely agree with addressing that particular quote, but this book would not be one I base my racism unit around. I think there are other books out there that address this issue much better and focus on several different aspects of the problem. Now I think showing the quote to reiterate the topic in all forms of literature is a good example but it is not one I think is a basis for the topic.
