The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

why does junior refer to how "white" penelope is? what is the effect of this?

He siad that her skin was pale white. Milky white. cloud white. So she was all white on white on white, like the most perfect kind of vanilla desert cake you've ever seen.
