How many blacks were in the concentration camps? From what I remember it was majority white.

How? I vaguely remember reading this in grade school but I don't remember much. MC gets in trouble, gets sent to a camp to dig holes. He digs lots of holes, makes a friend, gets lost, eats lots of onions and canned peaches, builds character, and ends being up slightly less of a faggot than he was at the start of the book. Did I miss anything? I don't remember it having anything to do with race.

Dude, the main character solves the mystery, which is that a huwite woman falls in love with a black man and his BBC and they run away to make an onion farm or some shit, away from society

Ah. Yeah I was in grade school at the time, and while I never had particularly great experiences with black people growing up, I wasn't yet particularly racially aware at the time either. Now I see why the book was assigned in the first place.

One of the best modern children's books out there. And the movie was actually a pretty solid adaptation

the book was good, I gotta say. It also put the image in my head that most criminals and lower class people were black in the US. so kind of the opposite of the intended message. maybe.
