When I was five Miss M sat the Chinese new girl next to me and I made a face. Miss gave a sharp look like: empathy please, an ethnic discriminates against race? Even as a child I squirmed at being cast as Other. I wanted to be with the anglo kids. The natural fleeting first impression of a child who writhes at injustice. I was conditioned to socialise and be protector of those who I didn't want anything to do with. The brash Anglo kids I suppose were oblivious and weren't burdoned by ideas too mature for them. Ah equality.
