[quote=Anonymous]I was at a swim meet with 1000 kids from 8 teams, and a guy looked at me and said-is the child in lane 3 yours and does she swim at xyz pool? I looked in lane 3 and said-yes, why? The man says-because my wife told me that there's a girl on the team with a beautiful freestyle stroke. I looked at the man-and I said-well she must have told you she was a Black girl. The man I guess got a little embarrassed. I mean-she had to have described my child's race to her husband. She's the ONLY Black girl at that pool location and maybe one of 3 on the whole team of 650. But on the other hand, I will admit to telling a story and describing the person-or the person I'm telling the story to will ask me about the race of the person. Ive lived in America my whole life and America is all about race and class. Just be honest. I don't think about it as racism-I just think about it as reality.[/quote]
