After You My Dear Alphonse response



The story After You My Dear Alphonse by, Shirley Jackson really relates to reverse racism because in the story when Ms. Wilson found out that Bloyd was black she kept treating him a lot of kindness and trying to give him a lot of food to eat and clothes because she thought that his family didn't have much of that and she tried really hard to make him feel like he has all of that. When Ms. Wilson said “And I have a few 
dresses that your mother or sister could probably use. Your mother can make them over into lots of things for all of you,” that really shows a good example of reverse racism and the author is really telling us that how you shouldn't treat people that way just because of their skin color and you don’t know what they went through so you can’t judge them just because of what they look like. This doesn't happen in today society as much as it did back then but there are some people even today that will judge people without really knowing them and treat them how they think they should be treated.
