I have 2 questions... they are both from the book seedfolks... PLEASE HURRY!!!

1st question is- When Amir reminds a fellow gardener that she once called him a “dirty foreigner” she replies, “Back then, I didn’t know it was you...”. What does this mean and how has their relationship changed?


2nd question is- What has caused attitudes to change and stereotypes to be wiped out in the setting?


Please explain all of your reasoning of why you chose what you said...thank you soo much! I'll mark brainliest too! =D
