I haven't read it for many years, but I recall Calpurnia chiding Jem and Scout for using "nigger talk" (and I'm quoting her) when voicing some superstitious belief. This to me meant that there were levels of racism within the black community, and that Cal saw herself as intellectually superior to many of her peers...but then, don't we all?
As well as Tom's physical limitations as a metaphor for his social status in a white dominated society?
That's all. I stopped teaching high school English many years ago!
