So this is most likely another reason  of why she thought of them as nonhumans. Normally black people were nonhumans but Maya was an exception and saw white people as nonhumans.  Now she sees everyone as equals and loves everybody.

How does Uncle Willie's disabilities show that Handicapped people have been treated badly for a centuries?

    In the book Uncle Willie is called "lame" because he is handicapped. He is handicapped because when he was a baby, his babysitter dropped him. He is not ashamed to say he is crippled and he is already use to the name calling. The only time Maya saw her uncle pretend he was not crippled is, when two strangers walked into the Store. Uncle Willie said he didn't know them.

    Currently the book is in the 1930's. This show that crippled people of been made fun of and harassed for a very long time now. For example, Uncle Willie was not born that way but people still treat him badly. What they don't understand is they can become handicapped any day and anytime. People still, in 2015 don't understand that they can become handicapped too. I hope, one day this will change.
