Scene 6_Zoot Suit Riots

-This scene confused me! The whole argument between the press and the pachuco was a headache!

-My Quote for this scene(page 80):
(a). PRESS: What's wrong with that? The Zoot Suit Crime Wave is even beginning to push the war off the front page.
(b). This is said by the press to el pachuco while the were arguing.
(c). I think that this quote is important in this scene because the press tells el pachuco how the the zoot suit crimes are huge, bigger than the war that's going on.

-My question for this scene is
Why is the pachuco and the press arguing?
