V63.22-26, P65.1-6   Follow? Red, the Negro shoeshine boy, waits by his
dusty leather seat. The Negroes all over wasted Roxbury wait. Follow?
“Cherokee” comes wailing up from the dance floor below, over the hi-hat,
the string bass, the thousand sets of feet where moving rose lights suggest
not pale Harvard boys and their dates, but a lotta dolled-up redskins.

What does "wasted" mean here?
