Sat in Sainsburys
Just sat in sainsburys when and interesting situation occurs. An Asian lady is a accused of queue jumping by an elderly lady who is waiting patiently in the queue. The interesting point comes whne the elderly lady challenges the Asian lady for jumping the queue (which she was) and she gets told that she ia being racist. I was really shocked by her comment since she was in the wrong but it appeared that because she was challenged she immediately accused people of being racist. Have we really come to this point in our evolution that any one that we challenge who is from a minority group can instantly pull and use the “ism” card in their argument. Hopefully it is just a minority that would use this in an argument but still almost makes me concerned a out the state of our society. Perhpaps we have actually come to far in the wrong direction when people start to use their own minority class as an excuse to gain specialist treatment because people are afraid of challenging them because an “ism” might be used against them.
Hopefully this only applies to. Minority of people but I still thought the situation got me thinking.
Sorry about any typos, on my iPhone and I have very chubby fingers !
