It is when you travel in a foreign land that allows you to learn the most. Sometimes about yourself, sometimes about others.
Today, I learned that some people needs to travel out of their country or if not, at least read widely and be informed... just so they know that the world does not revolve around them; just so they learn about equality and know that they are not superior to others; just so when they realize how big this world is, they will find themselves only appearing to be 2 INCHES TALL!
Story of the day: I met 3 racists on the streets today. I have heard about stories of such from my friends and showed empathy but this is definitely my first encounter of such extreme incident.
They publicly and openly made remarks about my friend and I while we were just walking past...
"Hey Chinks!! Tell Me huh?! Tell me! What are you guys doing in England?""Oh!! here are those Chinky people again!""it is because of you Chinks that I've voted for BNP..." (British National Party)
Really, kids? REALLY?
Never have I felt this offended in my life... I now understand how it really feels to be discriminated by race. There was this rage urging me to confront them and punch them in their face for acting this way. On the other hand, I knew that there's nothing we could do but to tolerate just in case they have something else up their sleeves. Something like a dagger. You never know what these kids carry with them...
I mean, I only had my camera with me. That is all. So, this was all I could do...
In full honesty, I do feel ashamed for you for being such a disgrace to the young generation, kids.
