I remember when it happened, mr. Activision leaned across the seat and whispered in my ear, "this is so going into your diary, isn't it?" So weeks later I am telling you about the racist incident that happened to me on the plane back from Florida.
I had my backpack full of stuff and was dragging my newly acquired rolling luggage thing behind me. As I had so much crap on me, I seriously did not notice that I winged a flight attendant as I was turning the corner. Mr. Activision let me know when we got to our seat.
But the crazy part was that the when a white flight attedant (not the one in I whacked with the packpack) comes to our row and tells mr. Activision (IN FULL VOICE) how rude I was not to apologize. I AM SITTING RIGHT THERE. As if mr. Activsion is somehow my legal guardian and I cannot understand what she is saying, the flight attendant scolds mr. Activsion for not keeping me in line. HEL-lo!!! I am a grown adult who speak English fluently.
When the flight attendant who I hit comes back, I make my apologize and she tell's me it's not big deal. However, her racist colleague who beleive white folks should be the stewards of people of color continues to give me the stink-eye. And I happily, stink-eye back.
