“The Miseducation of Hip-Hop ---Discrimination in Education” By Jamilah Evelyn

Is stereotyping a person by the way they dress wrong? In this short story the author explains that when he transferred to a new college that he was labeled a certain way because of the way he dressed. How can a student that is going to college to get a degree are labeled a certain way. Why does clothing have such an impact on a first impression? Does an impression make that big of a difference? My opinion is that impressions do make a difference. I feel that is a person is going to college that they should start dressing in a professional way so they can show that they are serious about getting an education. In a real life scenario if a person dressed in a suit for an interview would looks more presentable than the person dressed in baggy pants and a long tee shirt. Who would you higher?
