language
A woman calls her another sister a 'bitch'. Other language is very mild.
discrimination
A woman's physical disability is frequently referred to in a derogatory manner. She is called a 'cripple' and believes that no one will marry her. After learning that she's expecting a baby, a woman recoils at the thought of living with her disabled sister and refers to her leg injury as 'ugly', 'malignant' and 'deformed', and worries that being near her disabled sister will harm her unborn child's development. A man refers to being set upon by 'Blacks and heathens' in the war. The views are not condoned within the narrative, but neither are they overtly criticised.
