Throughout the story, V.S. Naipaul uses stereotypes and racial prejudice to create humour through satire. The following are a couple particularly effective examples. There were many different cultures inhabiting Trinidad when the story takes place, and a predominant effect of prejudice among the local people was that one needed to be of a particular culture to be successful in certain vocations. The protagonist losing his job at the newly converted grocery store he used to bake at, due to his being black, attests to this.
