Jem breaks Maycomb up into four groups. Based on these descriptions, what happens when you are born into one of those groups? What is your identity, and is it possible to change your situation?

Jem says that,

"There's four kinds of folks in the world. There's the ordinary kind, like us and the neighbors, there's the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dump, and the Negroes."

The second part of your question depends on which group you are referring to.
