Ouch!
Yesterday night this little girl came up to me in the middle of a party and asked me, "Hi what race are you?"I was stunned and said something stupid like " Erm, Tamil.. I mean Indian.. why?"
She went "Then how come you cannot speak tamil?"
I was dumbfounded, all I could say was smile and say, "Ask her Shivani why...haha"
Ouch. Ok this had to be coming for a long time, just that it had not been played out till now. She was just an innocent little girl who had no ill intention.
To top this I was appauled to see the number of Tamil songs and movies they knew when we were playing sherades... I was lucky my song was "Iruvan". Anythng more and I'll be so stunned.
I mean she's like 6,7?
This won't be the first time, but can I be salvaged? Or is there an acceptable answer to "Then how come you cannot speak tamil"?
