"How do you make a beautiful white girl to fall in love with me?"

"Well buddy," he would have said,"The first thing you have to do is change the way you look, the way you talk and the way you walk."" As you can see Junior is facing discrimination even through out his own community.For example Rowdy, Juniors old best friend actually said that.

This is a big deal because before Junior left the rez, Rowdy would never talk that way to Junior.

                   In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian the main character Junior faces bullying in the face of discrimination. For example in the book The True Diary  when Junior corrects the teacher, the teacher insists that the answer is wrong because Junior learned it on the rez and not at a regular school, but then when the teacher asked this kid Gordy who was the smartest kid in the class, Junior turns out to be right. But then in stead of thanking Junior for the right answer he thanks Gordy. As you can see even the teachers were in a way bulling Junior because they thought that what he could have possibly learned on the rez was not even close to right.
