This is not really a humourous post, rather I urge you to stop reading during the first sentence. I just like to write down some thoughts as memoirs, but this is impactfully disgusting, so it's up to you if you want to read it further.

When I was in my late teens, I receive a phone call from a couple of friends in the block telling me to come to the murky industrial area covered with parchment of grass. They told me there was a woman who was having sex with all the men there in one of the guy's mini van. I was naturally curious as a 16 year old and left to visit them. There were about 7 to 8 of them with the oldest being over 35. He always gave me the creeps, but my neighbourhood friends knew him as a friend. The van was bustling with guys coming in and going out. And I was asked to visit the van inside and see what's in store for me. I thought it was so gross and weird and I didn't even know who the woman inside was. I persisted and said, ''no'' There was immense pressure from the boys, ''go do it, Dan'' ''be a man'' That's what I remember vaguely. I went in and to my horror, I still remember a woman in her early 20's, overweight and who was clearly mentally incapicitated at the first instance when I saw her. She told me to come in. I was about to throw up and did so eagerly as I walked off.
The realization only grew on to me years later that her ''consent'' meant nothing. She was not capable of giving one even when she eagerly said, ''yes'' and they knew it.
They chose not to care. They said she was stupid. And this is a growing cultural tide in much of the under developed world. And much of the modern world sees it.
Then guess what? Instituional racism came in, and jobs were denied based on the colour of our skin. We were avoided altogether in public transport inspite of sitting there quietly with a Harry Potter book in my hand while carrying a school bag. Bigtroy grew, and so did their cultural isolation * +

And as their isolation grew, the level of education dropped even more as they clinged on to the same branch of people while wistfully avoiding different thoughts and pattern. And yet the same society they live in continued to look at them with scorn. This is the impact of racism and the vicious cycle from it.
Thanks for the read! * +

I read it all and felt sad that I didn't pay attention to the warning. * +
