Although the anecdotes that the author provides are relevant and sufficient, they are not credible. Tan only provides only one person’s perspective and experience. Not all people will experience the same thing. Throughout her article, Tan provides only her mother’s anecdote, she does not provide other people’s perspective. As it was mentioned before her mother experiences bad services in stores, restaurants and even in a more serious situation such as in the hospital. Not all places will have people who stereotype within their business. Although her mother’s anecdotes support Tan’s claim, they are not credible because others can have different experience. To be credible, Tan should have provided other people’s experience as well.
