After sending out invitations to a belated elopement party, I was suddenly fielding calls from friends who wanted to wear saris but were worried that it might be disrespectful.

Yay for multiculturalism and yay for a laugh!

Many of us are as confused as everyone else. We’re a large group bound together by only one factor — we’re not white. So different things matter in different degrees to all of us, it’s near impossible to speak as one.

I don’t even like the term people of colour. The first time I heard it I thought of the Smurfs because they’re blue.

      I’ll just mention the most accurate historical novel I’ve ever read.

      “Flashman At The Charge” by George Macdonald Friaser.

      Flashman is a slave dealer, rapist, thief, and a backstabbing coward.

      Naturally he ends up with a VC and becomes a General.
