Cofers purpose is to inform everyone of the stereotype Latin American woman are placed in. This type of disrespect should not be tolerated. She explains different occasions of when she was disrespected growing up. This doesn't happen only during certain ages. She received this kind of treatment from at a young age and into adult hood. Coffer explained her cultural back ground. Giving everyone a better understanding of why they dress and act the way they do.
I am not for stereotypes, though we all do it. I have seen where different races are treated differently. Some examples I've heard are; African Americas are violent, Mexicans are illegal, and white people are lazy. This isn't true. These statements show how ignorant some people are.
All of us have experienced this first hand. My husband is hispanic. Last year my husband and I joined in on the Black Friday excitement. After checking out, we were walking towards the doors. About to walk out of the store a Walmart worker stops my husband and asks for his receipt. Thhis stop is suppose to happen to everyone as they leave the store. The only thing in my husbands hands was our receipt and a baby doll that was in a box. He showed the worker the receipt, and proceeded to leave. As i looked around I had noticed that the walmart worker had only been stopping hispanics. I was very disgusted by what I had seen. It's very sad that this type of stuff happens on a daily basis.
