Discrimination To Minorities DISCRIMINATION TO MINORITIES The reason I am writing this essay is to show, and compare how the stories written by Brent Staples and Judith Cofer are similar in their own ways and how they both share a common theme. The thesis that both of these writer’s are trying to show us is that they both have been victim’s of racial prejudice, because they were minorities, and they were not white. Judith Cofer is a Puerto Rican women who grew up in a large urban center in New Jersey during the sixtie’s. Brent Staples is a African American man who grew up in a small, industrial town Chester, Pennsylvania during the sixties. Staples being a black male had become very familiar with the concept of fear. What I mean by the concept of fear, Is that white people had stereotyped Staples and have thought of him being a mugger, and a thief. He had a situation where he was walking down a dark street in Chicago, and a white lady walking in front of him kept looking back at him with a worried glance, after she looked back a few times she picked up her pace, and cofer, people, started, walking, lady, being, women, because, white, street, staples, racial, minorities, hispanic, concept, while, very, towards, staple’s, singing, presence, prejudice, new, handling, both, ways, way, tunes, toward’s, totally, thought, thief, table, successful, sing
