A friend of mine is a doctor in England – a consultant, in fact. He came to Bangladesh a few months ago, and he told me that the English regard colour as Muslims regard the pig.
One of his patients came to him and said: "I don't mind coloured doctors, but my friends do."
He has to put up with such taunts regularly.
Another friend – also a doctor, but a Ph. D candidate at a prestigious university – says that he would never live in England because of the racism he has encountered.
My cousin's husband recently went to England to do his MBA, leaving his wife and new-born son behind. He planned to take them to England after finishing his MBA and getting a job.
He was little prepared for his experience there. Now he swears he will return because he doesn't want his son to go through what he has to go through.
