We have moved, now, to Fife, part of the glorious Scotland. In this week, at my new job, a few momentous things have happened:
1. A student asked: "If you're from Africa, how come you're not black?"
2. I was asked, repeatedly, why we decided to move to Scotland.
These two questions I have read in a gazillion English eyes and faces, but nobody ever asked. Not because they weren't interested, but because it is not proper to be so direct. And to be asked these very simple questions in the first week in Scotland, says just about everything about why we decided to move here.
