He thought he was the same as everyone else. The reason he was so blissfully ignorant was because he wasn’t aware that he was different. An addendum to this disclaimer, he’d rather you just say it, and here’s why. Disclaimer He survived the incident and has never been called it since. As awful as the act of accidentally walking into someone was, did it warrant…that? Why was he called that word?įirst time for everything. Maybe his ethnicity and race actually did matter.

This belief helped mould him into a confident, liberal, cosmopolitan young man strolling through life with his head held high, cool as a cucumber with only the sky the limit.
