teacher ran out, so clearly the dance
was the thing she found so
disgusting. But this was a move that
African people do all the time. It’s a
part of our culture. Here we were
sharing our culture for a cultural
day, and this woman was calling us
disgusting. She was offended, and I
was offended by her taking offense.
“Lady,” I said, “I think you need
to calm down.”
“I will not calm down! How
dare you come here and insult us?!”
“This is not insulting anyone.
This is who we are!”
“Get out of here! You people
are disgusting.”
