I post about race cos I find it genuinely intriguing.

Growing up in Nigeria I wasn't Black. It's not that we were blind to skintone, it's just that we used different descriptors. I was "fair" or "yellow". (And you would've been called "red".)

Being yellow didn't come with any particular personality traits.

But when I landed at Heathrow, I became Black. My dick grew inches, and I somehow had ... rhythm? And suddenly no one would sit next to me on the tube.
