His personal identity may be in conflict with his physical identity or self-esteem. His social setting is him, a white male, in a physical institution of minorities which could be hispanic/latinx/black/asian. So that's why his friends tell him he's lucky

Anaise · Answer

However, It's explicitly stated that keith himself doesn't understand the gravity of his own situation. He's conscious of his speech impediment and learning disability. Should he feel lucky because his friend said so?
