I am sipping coffee at the leisure room in Burlington senior centre after my daily workout at the gym there. A white lady, whom I know to be very civic and gentle in nature as we met and talk frequently at the leisure room. She was seated opposite to me. Suddenly she asked me “where do you live?” I answered back but she couldn’t locate it. To refer a land mark, I said that I live next to Baron Park, a very big housing complex and well known. She sneered back, after a pause, “Oh! It’s a horrible place, infected by blacks.”
