Why are most English people wilfully ignorant?
I got into work on a freezing Friday morning and had expressed that it was cold. A British man then turned around and reeled off saying that I wouldn’t know what it means to be cold because I’m from Africa🙄.
Yes I’m from Africa but not from the desert 😐

Trust me, I didn’t just draw that conclusion simply because of one bloke. I encounter series of absurdity from different Brit’s literally everyday.

And that deserts aren’t cold 🙂
And that deserts aren’t cold 🙂
“A desert is a large area of land, usually in a hot region, where there is almost no water, rain, trees, or plants.” Note that the definition said “usually"
Of course it gets cold at night but everyone knows that the desert equals hotness and dryness.
My post hasn’t specified that deserts are not cold. Not all deserts are cold and deserts have different classifications .

That’s a new one . Usually they’d say you do feel the cold because you’re African.
It just goes to show you can’t win and discussing weather with people of colour is a minefield that can only end with you being suspected of either being ignorant or racist even.
Which is why I never fail to mention the weather when discoursing with Africans .
IE when going to a public toilet in London ,receiving a suspicious email or receiving a Royal Mail parcel on the odd occasion they actually give me enough time to answer the bloody door.

I mean I can’t tell a white person that he doesn’t know what it means to be hot simply because he’s white- that’s plain stupidity.
