Authors Note: This is a piece about racism and how it should never occur because it is such a bad thing in the world.
If you saw someone being racist towards another person what
would you do? People tend to be racist towards other people and that is what
happened in the stories “After you my Dear Alphonse” and “Adventures of an
Indian Princess”. There are a lot of
racist things that happen in these two stories.
Such as in the two stories the parents are just alike. The
parents are being racist and don’t know it. They think they aren’t, but they
really are. During the story “After you my Dear Alphonse” the mom said she was
disappointed because Boyd didn’t take the clothes she offered him. The mom
didn’t even realize she was calling Boyd poor. In “Adventures of an Indian
Princess” the parents where telling her to go take a picture with an Indian,
she didn’t want to but her parents made her take the picture even though the
guy wasn’t an Indian. There are more reasons why they were being racist.
Another reason why they were being racist is the mother told
Boyd to eat as much as he wanted because she thought Boyd didn’t get to eat
much. Therefore the mother is being racist and saying Boyd is poor and doesn’t
eat a lot. The parents of the kid in “Adventure of an Indian Princess” the
parents made her go to an Indian camp when she didn’t want to. The parents
where saying that it is good to be around people of her kind. There are many
more ways that they are being racist, but they also have their differences.
In the story “After you my Dear Alphonse” the mother was being racist towards another
kid rather than her own and in the story “Adventures of an Indian Princess” she
was being racist towards a kid that she adopted so she was kind of there kid
but it was still a very mean thing to do to them.
The Stories had many similarities but a little differences. The
racism in both of these stories are horrific. They are so bad the parents
should have noticed them. Racism is a thing that shouldn’t exists on the world anymore because it is such a terrible thing. many people don't know that they are being racist.
