Founded in 1868, Dickens, like most California towns except for Irvine, which was established as a breeding ground for stupid, fat, ugly, white Republicans and the chihuahuas and East Asian refugees who love them, started out as an agrarian community.
Established in 1868, Dickens shares similarities with many Californian towns, characterized initially by its agricultural roots. Unlike the town of Irvine, which is described in a derogatory manner as a place for less desirable qualities, Dickens embodies a more traditional community focused on farming and sustenance.
The quote from Paul Beatty's "The Sellout" contrasts the origin of Dickens with that of Irvine, suggesting a more unfavorable view of the latter. It highlights a belief that some places are shaped by their social and cultural environments, often critiquing the populations that inhabit them.
