Usually my niece has priority on the handmade presents, but this year I miss Tatiata already so much that I will keep these presents until I see her again. Hopefully she will be walking, and talking a bit of English so we can understand each other!
I confided in my friends that there is nothing Russian in my face and that the results arriving tomorrow will prove it but they are saying that even with the mask they can look at my eyes and see I am boiling angry :
I was telling them that I went to the Post office and the man they call wacky-jack ( how Eastern Europeans locally call the Indian man in the post office as he reputedly suffers from depression, HOWEVER, I do not use these pejorative names) looked at me as if I was dirt and I felt that was out of jealousy because I am mixed race and he is obviously not, but he done the same to my father really mistreating him according to my neighbour who saw my very old dad in there.
I never thought that someone would have the audacity of mistreating my father, not only because of his age, but also because my father is an honourable man who worked all his life as public servant, served the Portuguese Army during the colonial war, while in Cape Verde as a military officer, studied by himself and is a loving caring man. I told my mother who went in there with my dad hours later and looked at the man and the woman there with him and told me they are very bad people in India, many of whom moved to Pakistan almost two centuries ago because of caste discrimination. They seem to forget who they really are when they are rude at vulnerable old people.
My Polish friends told me that they are like my Polish neighbours who are clearly this mix up or descendent and that in Poland, Ukraine , Russia and now Denmark, they have their own locally styled " Rochdale" where these people are greedy to work as social workers, taxi drivers, kebab food shops and council housing officers to create a system of accessibility to children and housing where groups have access to young children, especially women and use them to acquire power over white politicians paedophiles, so at the end of the day looking at vulnerable people in a disgust way is not just harassment is to acquire power and feel less ethnic and justify their use of skin bleaching.
I find that ridiculous as my mother's grandmother was top caste and never used Colgate toothpaste bleach as they use to use back then, and always found herself very beautiful and gracious. I believe that some people look themselves in the eye and see themselves as scum and then project their insecurities into others.
Best wishes,
Ariane
