The townsfolk often refer to Sam as “the onion picker,” this represents social injustice in that the townsfolk know him as nothing more than an onion picker, not even a person, and through repetition, Sachar made that clear. This shows social injustice since this word is socially unacceptable and very racist nowadays, but back then it was everyday slang. About Sam being black colloquial language was used when ‘negro’ was said. When the Sherriff said “It’s against the law for a Negro to kiss a white woman”. Social justice is equality for all people, therefore social injustice is the opposite. The first type of justice represented in ‘Holes’ is social justice and injustice.
