Him:  I was wondering if you could read a paper I wrote pertaining research methodologies and let me know what you think.  I want to know if what I am saying makes sense from an outsider’s perspective.

Me:  Thank you, but I have vision limitations and don’t make a living.  You may want to ask a paid professor to do this for you – that is unless you are willing to hire me as a consultant?

Him:  Never mind the trouble!  Maybe I may never find an Indigenous person to lend a helping hand!  Enjoy making money in Colonial Empire!

Me:  Actually I don't have an income and have medical expenses for my eyes.  If you are being sarcastic, I could really do without this.  Really, I should not have to explain this as it is you who does not value the need for respect.

Good on you for being clear (that you would take on this work in a paid capacity). Sorry it was met with this response.

Thanks M, I encounter this type of ignorance all the time. I can't get over it they seek to make me feel guilty. And then at the same time many people like to make me feel less than simply because I have a doctorate degree. Lynn
