Casual racism is interesting. Had a conversation with N talking about our area. She said that she didn't like walking back from Shadwell station because of the gangs of Bengali boys. I kind of talked over her at that point, knowing what might be coming and not wanting to hear it.
It's funny because I've written in earlier entries how I have felt around there and it was pretty much the same. But somehow her saying it out loud made me afraid of the direction the conversation was taking. So I changed topics.
