Today I was in the queue for the jumble sale at my school, and there I was daydreaming, and maybe listening in to other peoples conversations a bit, when I heard something which utterly disgusted me; the lady behind me was talking about her apartment, then the man next to her said "And what about those Nigerians that live in the flat below you?"
"Oh, they're terrible!"
"Someone should shoot them!" he said.
"Someone tried too! At 1:00 in the morning! And they've been kidnapped too!" she replied hastily.
"You do not need me, I have no money!" He said in a fake Nigerian accent, which sounded more Indian.
"There are so many of them now! And they make so much noise!" and then they both laughed, and I felt sick inside, so very sick; It took all my strength to not turn around and slap that smirk off of that horrible, racist, chauvinistic pig! And they just carried on talking about the weather and all that crap, but inside I felt like screaming! Thankfully the queue moved on and I didn't have to be next to them anymore, but for the rest of the day, I couldn't stop thinking about racism in our country; but what can I do about it, after all, I'm only 13 years old! And so hearing this has ruined my day, and there isn't even anything I can do about it, It just makes me feel useless....:(
