Quote by Sherman Alexie

I used to think the world was broken down by tribes,' I said. 'By Black and White. By Indian and White. But I know this isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: the people who are assholes and the people who are not.


I used to think the world was broken down by tribes,' I said

Summary

In this quote, the speaker reflects on their previous belief that the world was divided into various tribes based on race and ethnicity. However, they have come to the realization that this perspective is flawed. Instead, the speaker simplifies the division to two groups: those who behave as assholes and those who do not. This suggests that the individual's character, morals, and actions, rather than external categorizations, ultimately determine the divisions within society.
