1) Three public behaviors Staples notes:
- People cross the street or otherwise move away from him to avoid passing him.
- Women clutch purses or pull their children closer and lock car doors when he is near.
- Store clerks and shopkeepers follow him or watch him closely as if he might steal.
2) Which seems most dehumanizing and why:
Being followed and watched by store clerks feels most dehumanizing because it treats him like a suspect, not a person. It assumes guilt without any reason, takes away his privacy and dignity, and makes him feel constantly watched and mistrusted.
