Stereotypes In Judith Ortiz Cofer's 'Wayson Choy'

The kinds of Latinas, Coffer are talking about are mainly Puerto Ricans and Mexican woman. The consequences of irrational assumptions, which helped and encouraged Judith Ortiz Judith Ortiz Cofer, gain the strength and confidence as she worked to prove that stereotypes about her, were strong.
On first sight judgments, the audience can decide their attitude towards you. Society can live with them, we can just wait until that person proves himself or shows who he/she is. But the way modern society is now, it chooses not to. Because of it limits people’s confidence to do something such as Judith Ortiz Cofer and Wayson Choy. For example, even I judge an Asian lady, who is with worn jacket, black tennis shoes without make-up and she walk on the cross

The mirror never lied" (Choy
