After You

In this story the mom has many stereo types about this little black boy. Out of all the stereo types that she had in her mind about him there isn't one that isn't said today. In our society there are many stereotypes about African Americans, including ones about them having extra muscles in their legs or that all of them are poor. Like having an extra muscle in their body, most of the stereo types are extremely ridiculous. But I don't think that in this time if we had them proved wrong, we wouldn't necessarily get mad at the person for not being how we judged them to be. 

In the story the two little boys keep saying after you, while holding the door open. Back then there might have been people who were serious about that or at-least had great manners. The manners that people have now a days is just absurd. And it's not just a couple people, it's a lot of them. Over the generations, the manners of children and of adults has done nothing but decreased.
