Racism

I hate it how I can never stick to a routine. I was planning to write in here EVERY SINGLE day in the summer (hence the previous title "Day 1"), but seeing that I already missed two days, it's time to be frank with myself and just say: IF YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP AN AGENDA, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO WRITE EVERYDAY?!

I had the most disturbing and awkward conversation I've ever had with my grandmother, specifically due to the fact that a. I am NOT fluent in the language thus the awkward translations from English to Creole, and b. because of the unsurpressable racist slurs that spews out of her mouth. Racist-vomit. Me, being the chicken that I am, did not do the ETHICALLY right thing and say: "no grandma, please stop you're so incredibly racist, fallacy fallacy FALLACY!" Nope, I decided to listen and nod like the obedient granddaughter. Not a descendent of Mulan, that's for sure.

I have to admit in all honesty though...that her racist statements were pretty hilarious though. Before I become completey friendless, LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF. For example, she was telling my uncle how a restaurant in scarborough closed down last year due to rat infestation or something along the lines of being so unbearably unsanitary that they had to close it down. SOMEHOW she found a way to blame the BLACK people "ban goonga" (as she would call them) for the uncleanliness. I don't even know how she made that connection, but she was so adament that she was completely right and logical. I still can't help but giggle at her attempts to narrow down the world's problems to one single race.

I find this "racism" trend showcased in a lot (dare I say all?) older asian generations, regardless of their education or upbringing. Maybe it's genetic. HAHA, it's probably a dominant allele then. That means my grandmother's alleles must be RR. Ew, okay biology jokes kicking in. GOOD BYE.
