What's in a Name

While racism is still going on in the mid 1950's, one black family is respected to a certain extent by the whites in their neighborhood. But their is one particular elder person that calls the man of this family George when its is not his name, but the man still answers to it anyway which make his son ask him "why did Mr.Wilson call you George, doesn't he know your name, tell him yor name" and in the father's response he tells his son "he knows my name, boy," and after a long pause the father says "he call all colored people George". It was such an incident were the family just calls it "one of those things" because it occurred very often.
