passing conversation

This morning one of the little boys in Hindi class was having trouble with a word. I said, “It’s all good. I make mistakes all the time.”

He said, “Well but that’s because you’re Chinese.”

I laughed and said I wasn’t Chinese. He said, “Oh, then where are you from?”

“I said, my ancestors were from Europe. We are what are known as white people.”

“Oh. That’s what a white person looks like.”

 

Indeed.
