On account of some Upper Eastside whiteboys’ inability to keep my botanical enterprises, of which they were the major beneficiaries, on the low.

Meaning

This excerpt alludes to white privilege. Dondi gets expelled from his prestigious prep school for selling marijuana. Although the reader cannot be sure, Dondi may have not been subject to quite as severe of a punishment if he was a white student. The fact that Dondi’s peers are wealthy white Upper Eastsiders, while he is not, supports that some level of classicism and prejudice permeates the school community.
