I applied to a magnet high school and my audition was today. And I think I made an idiot of myself to a few of the students. I was filling out the evaluation sheet and these girls were saying hi to me but I didn't know they were, lol. I was really nervous and not paying attention. And when I realized they were talking to me I couldn't understand them! They were black...and you know how some black people sound? That sounds kind of racist. But, I'm not racist. I just have some trouble understanding black people who talk like that. Blah, I can't explain it. Anyways...this new school had a lot of black people in it. And I feel racist now for some reason. I don't know what my point is. I just had to let that out. Am I being racist, somehow? I never thought I was racist. I don't know. I just feel kind of weird now.
Maybe I am racist too. There was this one American girl, Erin, living in our flat last term and I could never understand what she was saying. I would just stand there and nod occasionally and say something like yeah, right, okay and never had any idea what she was actually talking about. She had a reeeeeaally strong, confusing accent..
nah its not racist, it would be racist if you disliked them for being black...not being able to understand an accent is perfectly natural, you ever heard a THICK african accent? absolutley impossible to understand unless your used to it.
Yeah, that's the difference between someone who was black from Boston and someone black who was from South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama... etc.
