don't come knocking at my door


Racism in Toronto.
In journalism they tell you to never assume.
Well lately Kevin and I have been assuming some racists thoughts coming from certain people.
Well you see, Kevin was supposed to buy a place near lakeshore. Nice view, nice condo, kind of far but whatever. So I go with Kevin to see his place, ALL the way across town (well school) almost getting lost and losing our metro passes.
We get there and the sun is shining, houses are beautiful, hot man walked his dog, camera-clicks every five seconds, fresh lake, clean sidewalks, it felt like stepping into Utopia for a broke teenager.
Oh and did I mention there was a canoe over our heads?
Anyways so we get there before 7 p.m. (meeting time) and wait... and wait.. and wait.
We called the owner several times and even left messages.
15 minutes pass by;
More calls. More messages. And 33 new pictures to add on Facebook.
Where could this guy be? Did he get lost in his own house?
So we are sitting there, like two little immigrants in Toronto for the first time, and just watched the cars drive by.
That's when it happenened.
A black car filled with some men drove by just STARING at us. My friend had figured out the ages of the house owners and by the looks of it we were staring right at them.
The watched us and left.
We looked at each other and left.

Still I have that small 2% hope that I shouldn't be assuming...
but whatever!

Why would you not want to live with an Asian?
