Magical Realism/Psychological/ Mystery

I have an Indian kid that works alone in a rural post office. I put the below passage right on the second page. I don’t mention race or racism again in the book. It just shows why this kid might feel isolated and lonely enough to create a false narrative about something he’s seen in the woods.

But now I wonder if it’s too much too soon. I do not Discribe him physically, but I do it with a slight racial slur from a customer. I had put I. The context but my post was removed.

How do you handle race and how early?
