Crooks is described by the other ranch hands as being the only black man at the ranch. While he's there, other workers call him the "n" word. Despite many of the workers being migrant workers and relatively transient, they all still look down on Crooks. hope this helps :)

teinbeck shows sympathy for the character of Crooks in Of Mice and Men in a variety of ways. Crooks is described by the other ranch hands as being the only black man at the ranch. The racial slurs of that particular time, the "n" word, is applied to him by the other workers at the ranch.
