Comment | I'm an Indian glasgwegian and you don't know how many people look surprised when they hear me speak 😑 I've even had a guy I was seeing say "You sound so scottish", knowing damn well I was born here.
Tbh I wouldn't call most of them racist, it's really mainly ignorance. Like an old lady in sainsburys trying to be nice telling me how much she loved curry and a guy trying to flirt by saying he "likes chicken tikka masala". Yes really.
I just nodded and smiled. It wasn't coming from a bad place and that's what people need to understand. It's not all "racist". Also when my best pals gran met me for first time she said "wee paki lassi" 😅. My pal was mortified and said "Gran you can't say that!" And she was like "How no?" Sorry but I was howling.
You just need to educate people rather then calling them racist....unless they are racist then they can do one. |
