raagulanpathy(@raagulanpathy):Old white Aussie’s can be easy to misunderstand. A lovely retired chap came up to me in a coffee shop, and asked if I was Sri Lankan. I said yes, I am! He said “I love Sri Lankan’s”. “Had this great friend when I was working in Melbourne. He’d often invite me over for a curry. The curry is hot, but I loved it. He was such a great bloke. You guys are great. I knew you must be Sri Lankan, he looked just like you, as dark as can be” 😂 😂 😂 You really can’t call that racism, can you. p.s. I was going to ask him if he’d met anyone from our Sudanese community, but I like being called dark so I just ran with it!
