Colors

The post might seem racist. But it's not. These are genuine questions I have, I'm sorry if you are offended.

Not that everyone out there is like that. I have met people at office/college who obviously are educated and some of the things have changed in them. But a majority of the people you see on the subways/ outside in general are downright scary.
Why do they have to wear their hair like that? If you look around and find weird hairstyles, 99 out of a 100 times it'll be a black person(I don't like use that word, but now you know who I am talking about.)
You have to see them to believe what I am saying.
They've got blonde hair(why doesn't it occur to them that evolution-wise, they don't have hair like that in the first place, because it doesn't suit them? Don't they get that themselves?)
Half their head is shaved and the other half has a layered haircut. And this was a woman.
Have you noticed every woman's got straight hair? I mean everyone of them. They have to iron it. Like the entire community, really? Why?
I mean can you imagine say, the Chinese, with curly hair? Wonder what  the fascination with straight hair is.

Oh and the stench. I can understand why the women would smell maybe. It's the hair again. To keep the ironing on for a longer time, you'd have to hold off washing your hair and stuff.
But the thing is, even men with short hair smell bad. I noticed that even at office!

On the bus back yesterday, a guy had asked for change when I'd got onto the bus. I walked past him and sat in a seat far away from him. He then gets up and sits in the seat before me. Imagine my horror. And the worse part was, now there was a guy in the seat in front of me and one behind me. And they start talking about how they like large women and what they like in them. I cannot imagine how anybody can be so uncouth and disrespectful! And you cannot imagine the state of terror I was in. I had just shopped a truckload of stuff and my only worry was they don't slit my throat just for all the bags.
Even though there were people from everywhere in the bus, I knew nobody would come forward to help even if something did happen.
The first time I've felt so vulnerable and helpless in life. There are bad people on buses in India as well. But in the event something happens, you can be sure that help is at hand and that there will be a few Samaritans on board to help. But in this case I wasn't even sure of that.
The 5 mins that I was in the bus felt like eons.
The guy in front of me had some white liquid on him and he had some ready on the tip of his fingers. And I thought it was chloroform which he would use on me!
OMG why do these guys have to terrorize people like this?

People have a certain image of  blacks in general and they do nothing to change that perception. You can change that image if you change a bit. Maybe a little sympathy, some hygiene and some politeness? Is it too much to ask for?

I think, everybody is racist in a way. Just that some characteristics are worse among a few races.
