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.
