Scene 6 - Zoot suit riots

1)At first scene 6 was confusing but once i got to most of it i understood that how the zoot suit riots began. The sailors were the ones "hatting" on the pachucos and the press always say that the pachucos start all the fights in their headlines.

2)"were using other terms" (p.80)

The press said this sentence to pachuco. Meaning that they are using other terms for their front page stories. This sentence is particually important because the press say that they are using other terms but when i fact the are just repeating themselves by using just the "pachuco" and the "zoot suiters".

3)Is swabbie going to stay a sailor for ever?
