Here's mine.
I'm a white man born and bred in the city and living in country market town
where everyone is white but talk with a different accent to my own.
A local road was going to be built, what we call a bypass and it was
contentious. The council had an open day and was going to go to a local vote.
I thought it was a good idea. A local white woman did not think it was a
good idea and didn't like me saying it was and I quote:
her: "How long have you lived here?"
me: " five years:
her: "You're just a foreigner, and your views don't count for nothing":
Of course she was wrong on both counts because I wasn't foreign, my views
did count, so did my vote and the bypass was built.
The happy ending is that I live in a suburban town rather than a country
town and everyone accepts me.
