Michel is the typical ignorant, uneducated white man who will represent the environment Laura feels pressured to assimilate into. He has never dealt with being part of a minority or with his humanity being taken away from him, because yet again he is white guy who is a citizen of the United States of America. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He has no empathy and is the personification of the Republican party and typical "MAGA" rhetoric. Finally he is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.
