About This Quote
Anand completed the transaction and was ready to step out of the shop when I stepped up and slammed three pound coins on the counter like an oppressed inner-city youth born with the skills of rhythm and rhyme. This is a common way for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to demonstrate their refusal to be intimidated by the establishment. In this case, I am being a smart-ass, but it can also be a serious gesture of resistance against a system that favors middle class white people over poor people of color.
