I stumbled upon this piece of news: BBC News - Ghana seafood restaurant denies 'whites only' policy. Now I do not like them Negroes. I don't hate them. Actually I just don't give a damn about the colour of the people's skin. Oh, and Negro in russian means "a person of African origin with black skin". Nothing more, nothing less.
But it's one thing if you just don't care and don't support all that newfangled "positive discrimination" crap. But when you start making remarks about people's race that's another thing. After reading the article I've got an impression that the woman offended is well-educated (like, you know, middle class) and, moreover, it is her country. Who in the name of Goddess is that expat guy to crack stupid jokes about race in her own country? Ok, I'm prone to that myself, but only with the people I know who are used to my jokes and who'd know that I mean no offence. But telling that it's "whites only" establishment – well, if I was there, I'd just kick that guy in the bollocks, as it's quite clear he does all his thinking with them. I don't give a damn about race, but I hate racists.
