Curley's wife does make racially insensitive remarks in the book "Of Mice and Men," using a derogatory term to describe African Americans. This reflects the prevailing attitudes and language of the time the book is set in, the 1930s. It is important to remember that this behavior is a product of the environment and social norms of that era.
