Reverse Racism

Author's Note: This essay will be about Reverse racism and how people judge other people on what they do or how they talk. 

After you, My Dear Alphonse is about these two friends named Boyd and Johnny when Boyd goes to Johnny's house for lunch and his mom makes alot of food for Boyd because she thinks he doesn't eat alot because she sees him as a African American so that means to her that he doesn't eat because of slavery or that his family is really poor. But when she tries to put more food on Boyd's plate he says he doesn't won't alot because he's not hungry and she still tries to put it on his plate and Boyd's get kinda upset and says no thank you and he walks back to the table and starts eating. 

 Another reason why this story is reverse racism is when Boyd is going to leave to go home Johnny's mom ask Boyd if he needed clothes for him or his parents but Boyd said he didn't need any clothes and she said well maybe your mom can sew them. Then Boyd said she doesn't know how to sew then Mrs.Wilson said there are very many boys like you and they would be grateful to accept the offered i just gave you yes I know Mrs.Wilson but me and my family don't really need and Mrs.Wilson are you starting to get mad at me said Boyd, no I'm just disappointed that you didn't accept my offer and lets just not say anything else about this.

I think this story has alot of real life experiences because there's alot of people out there that will judge other people on what they wear or how they act just like when Mrs.Wilson said "you need more food on your plate" stuff like that can be reverse racism. Another example of reverse racism is when Mrs.Wilson tried to send Boyd home with a bundle of clothes but Boyd didn't accept it because his family already has good enough clothes and I think that's reverse racism because Mrs.Wilson thinks his family his poor and doesn't really have alot of clothes or alot of food. I think reverse racism is kinda like judging a book by the cover because some people just look at one person and might think really bad just by seeing him.

 However, this topic is not just in this story. The story "Adventures of an Indian Princess" by Patricia Riley also has many examples of reverse racism. For instance, when the family goes on a vacation they a man with a horse and he  is kinda dressed like a Native American but he's just they guy who works at the Native American store they stopped at. And the family looks at for awhile and there thinking that he is a actual Indian so they go into the store expecting to see more Native Americans  but they don't they just see a bunch of Native American stuff like arrows and home made bows and stuff like that. These two stories are the same because there's two people that try to give free stuff because they think there poor or expect to see the culture of Native Americans.

What I think of these two stories is that they have alot of reverse racism for example when Mrs.Wilson try to give Boyd alot of food or when she try to send him home with a bundle of clothes for him and his parents. Reverse racism is also in the real world just like when people see a bunch of teenagers hanging around they think that there just trouble or they think that there a big gang but really there just hanging out with their friends. The reason I wrote about this topic is because I thought it was interesting and also I thought it would be cool to write about.
