@OP: You belittle the concept of racism by referring to what you experienced as racist.

You meet a stranger on the street, you greet him/her and he/she doesn't respond and chooses to stay away from you. How is that racist?! There are a lot of deductions we could adduce the attitude of the man to; could it be you have a bad body odour, or you dressed up like a gangstar, or you presented with a bad attitude e.t.c.

The man is not racist for choosing not to stay away from you, he made a choice.

DrJoe1:

Nah!! I'm not, just general knowledge I've got of the place & tales from folks who lived there at one point or the other.

PapiDShipCapt:

Hi guys, due to what's going on in our world at the moment, I think it's hightime we started loving each other. I had an encounter with racist people some weeks ago..

My flatmate (a Nigerian) and I went to the mall about some weeks ago to get our winter clothings and all, after we got all paid, we went to the bus-stand to wait for the bus - we got to the stand and met a Canadian man probably in his mid to late forties waiting for the bus too, I said "Hello, how you doing today? Nice weather, isn't it?" The man just bone face, he didn't even answer, my flatmate looked at me and we just acted like it didn't happen.

What he did next was something that irritated me. Immediately he packed his bags and went to the stand opposite us to meet a Canadian woman sitting down too, we didn't give 2 hoots until they started saying some things we couldn't hear, laughing uncontrollably and pointing fingers right at us. My mate got infuriated and wanted to confront them I calmed him down, that they were just ignorant. Few minutes later, the bus came they got on the bus, me and my mate intentionally sat next to them, lo and behold they stood up and went way back to the end of the bus. I was just shaking my head!

For real, racism has got to stop. You have different wardrobes of many colours, can't God have humans with different colours too?

Tho, I've met so many respectful, kind, nice people here. When I told my female bestfriend who is a Canadian too, she asked me to describe them, that she wants to kick their a'ss, I just told her not to worry. I really wish racism could end for good. We have to learn to live and tolerate each other, irrespective of race, religion etc..

What is this one saying? Very ignorant fellow. If you haven't experience this, you may never understand what the OP went through. Don't be quick to draw conclusions! The fact is the darker in complexion you are, the more likely you are to experience racism...proven fact!

brito:
Why you go greet the man?

Ilekeh:
Okay either they're racist or you guys smell.

Lol my thought. FOB Nigerians smell. I've told my friend several times that he stinks. I've even had to teach him how to use deodorant.

SuperMartins:
Aii then..thanks

angelo82:



You are at fault here.....Why do you have to say hi to strangers?.....Even if you are going to say hi to him,you need to watch out for the friendly signal.....What you experience is not racism......I wouldn't like a total stranger to greet me that way....Simple hi is welcome and not all that your.......

Lol seriously. This is how FOB Asians thrive. They stink but they mind their own business. They keep their stench within their race.
