Gm 🌞

V weird uber interaction last night. Still lingering on it a bit this morning.

Me: “Can I put the window down? Super hot today.”
“Of course. where are you from?”
“England. Yourself?”
“Punjab. Your people took my country”
“Pardon?”
“Punjab. It’s now Pakistan and India. I’m Indian.”
“Oh I suppose it’s my dad’s fault then.“
“it’s more than 75 years.”
“Oh i suppose it’s my dad’s dad’s fault then.” …Trying to laugh it off.

Silence.

10 minutes later I ask how he’s enjoying portugal and he says there’s too much racism. I joke is that racism toward you or from you?

He ignores it and loops it around to his rant that in 1947 punjab was divided.

I could not understand why he felt the need to drill home that some long dead Brits in 1947 did some stupid shit.

Weird.
