In the story Black Enough by Varian Johnson , Psychologists use the terms 'subtype' and 'subgroup' to describe more complex categorization processes. Consider the category, 'female politician.' If female politicians are 'subtyped' then they are placed in a unique category that is separate from either the 'female' category or the 'politician' category--they are considered 'female politicians' not 'female.' However, if female politicians are 'subgrouped' then the 'female politician' category is a special case of the 'female' category. In the case of subgrouping, female politicians are considered both 'female' and 'female politicians.' In your opinion, has Myron subgrouped or subtyped Cam?

Bonus:In the story, Cam lives in two spaces. During the school year, he lives in a White space. During the summer, he lives in a Black space. Part of navigating 'spaces' is developing a strategy to minimize your credibility deficit. In other words, when a navigating a space that isn't for you, you have to prove you belong there. This can be a performance, a negotiation, or a 'dance.' For a bonus point, describe how you believe Cam reduces his credibility deficit in both 'spaces.'
