West Side Story and Sowell's "A Conflict of Visions"
The Genius of Thomas Sowell
West Side Story Song - G Officer Crupke
In this stanza, anita calls bernardo's bluff when he says he is thinking of going back to porto rico. She offers to help him get to the boat, knowing full well he will stay in new york.

They have voted with their feet to come to amer but because it's not perfect, they idealize where they came from and criticize their new home for its imperfections.
