Today in class we were given a claim and our job was to create an argument that supports it, disagrees, and one that comes to a compromise. My claim was, “Black people don’t tip”. It was pretty easy to write the paragraphs because this is such a broad statement that it’s easy to go against it, but the same can’t be said for the supportive paragraph. I just think this claim is stereotypical, and as soon as say a group as a whole does something, it immediately loses credibility. That’s why when I created my compromise paragraph I stated that black people are more like to tip less than other ethnicities. I did learn that black people on average tip less than other ethnicities, so the claim was wrong, but there’s some truth behind it, kind of. Overall this lesson was pretty fun, I should’ve looked through the other prompts more thoroughly , but I did see one about anime’s enjoyability that also could’ve been interesting to write on.
