A Nigerian architect recently shared an account of how he effectively addressed a racist incident involving five Caucasian boys at a bus stop in London, UK.
The Nigerian man, known as @harrydaniyan, recounted the incident where he was waiting at the bus stop and took out a magazine to read. The Caucasian boys expressed surprise that he could read, prompting him to respond in a clever way.
Maintaining his composure, @harrydaniyan smiled kindly at them and decided to impart a lesson. He confirmed his ability to read and then proudly mentioned his status as an architect holding a master’s degree.
In response to their awe, he inquired about their educational backgrounds, to which they mentioned high school. seizing the opportunity, the Nigerian man explained that individuals with such education levels in Nigeria, his home country, are referred to as 'illiterates'.
The account goes on to reveal that the five boys were left speechless and remained silent until their bus finally arrived.
