See, the interesting thing I have witnessed in Africa is the racist counter culture amongst the illiterates. If someone has learned english , may will shun the kid, and or pick on him too for being “white”.
I would speculate that it is racism being practiced by the illiterate kids here too, for not wanting to participate nor fall into the system.... thus they run into problems getting educated.
“Lets go get some cash... “
in Africa?? Or among African-Americans in the USA?
