After You My Dear Alphonse Response

After You My Dear Alphonse by Shirley Jackson is a short story focusing on racism and naivete as a mother involuntarily starts to insult her sons black friend. I feel that this would almost never happen in Pewaukee since we live in a nice small community compared to milwaukee or another big city. This could happen easily in a place such as Chicago or Milwaukee since those cities are large and very diverse. Shirley Jackson s trying to teach us to never judge a book by its cover, or judge a person on their color. Racism needs to stop everywhere since the situation in After You My Dear Alphonse is unacceptable. I feel racism is low in America but high all around the world.
