Has invited Lennie to his life, acceping that he is unlike other men and doesn't treat him indifferently.
:
We see that through the quote "Crooks said irritably, “You can come in if you want.”"
the adjective irratibly portrays how crooks is stil aggitated at the fact that he is allowing another man into his bedroom- an intimate place which can reflect upon a person's personality.
the word negro is defined as a historical term to call dark skinned people, black. which is racist and unacceptable. this shows they had no respect for others in the past.
crooks isn't allowed in the bunkhouse because the races are kept apart because there are all white men in that bunkhouse and he's the only black man that's why he's kept in another room.
He Was Described as a "Proud, Aloof Man". Which Represents Being Distant and Isolated. Who Spends Most Of His Time Reading.

Themes: Racism, inequality, dreams
Names crooks got called: Negro , stinky
Cannot stand up for himself, he is hopeless about the fact that he will be treated equally. He prefers being isolated, he wants to stay out of trouble, as he will be blamed for it because he is black. Another reason he doesn’t interact much with other people is probably becuase he doesn’t want to get called names
Has his own space and room showing that his isolated from everyone and he doesn't want trouble with other white men

Crooks tries to defend himself by telling Curley's wife to leave the room 'coldly' however since she has a higher social status she tells him she could hang him on the tree and that 'it ain't even funny'
Crooks is bookish and likes to keep his room neat, but he has been so beaten down by loneliness and prejudicial treatment of that he is now suspicious of any kindness he receives.
Crooks is a lively, sharp-witted, black stable-hand, who takes his name from his crooked back. Like most of the characters in the story, he admits that he is extremely lonely. ... Like Curley's wife, Crooks is a disempowered character who turns his vulnerability into a weapon to attack those who are even weaker
