ING
I had been invited to Joy’s leaving party. Joy is the most kind person in out department in leeds. Although I should have paid 20 pounds for that party I hah found it obligatory to show my deep respect to her. Mehdi told me that due to the money he could not manage to come then I asked Mehrdad to company myself and head to the restaurant. We arrived late and were forced to seat separately behind to different table! I had been surrounded with Rike ( my brother supervisor, the technician ( I don’t know his name!), Vichenzo ( Italian student) and finally Richard who runs the SEM. We spoke about plenty of subject such as wicked Berlusconi! , World Cup, weather in UK etc….. The point that has leaded me to write this story is one of Richard’s Reaction which was against Arab people!. He told me whether Iranian are Arab or not. I explained him that although our alphabet are same, our language is totally different , except some Arabic word which have been imported to Farsi. He laughed and said “Sorry, I had taken you as arabs”. It was definitely obvious that he hates arabs and may be the other moslems! ( while I was there it was not possible for him to say some things against moslems!!!). I pretended that I could not get his point and asked him” why do you say sorry”, alittle bit serious!. He waited and I think he could not say that I don’t like them, and added that just because I have made a mistakle about your nationality!
I have told all these to highlight the difficulty of being in a foring nation! As I mentioned this story to some of my friends, they condemned I ranian as well as racist!, but to be honest although these people whose I am living among them are not apparently racist, they don’t like foreigners, which is absolutely their right because undoubtedly here is their land not ours!!!
