An Escape from Discrimination


Christopher Rendon is a student at the College at Brockport who loves to go to coffee shops.

Rendon took the time to explain to me why he feels as though coffee shops offer a non-discriminatory atmosphere as opposed to other places, such as McDonalds.

In his opinion, the people are what make the difference. He explained to me how workers in coffee shops are attentive and caring, as opposed some unkind people he has met in other places.

Rendon has been discriminated against for being Mexican, but he has never felt judged for the color of his skin in coffee shops.

Rendon told me his favorite coffee shop is one at home, Caffé Bene, and how he was able to relate it to a place in Brockport, Java Junction. He explains how these places have comfortable furniture, and they feel like home, so they create an environment which he enjoys spending his time in.
