Not convincing Rose. Eat and drink, song and dance with other minor variations. Was that all Goans had?
Come on now, reach into that grey matter and excavate some REAL reasons that could convince people who did not experience what you are trying to tell us. I assume that you write for their benefit and not for that of the "believers". If you can't, at least say "we can't describe it, you had to live it". Goan community feeling, and all other things you mentioned were not confined to East Africa alone By the way on the subject of rudeness and more towards Africans, even interesting Goans like Pio Gama Pinto were shunned like lepers by calling them "communists". By saying that if given a choice you would still be there, you're telling me you were ready to endure any number of Idi Amin clones that came along. If that didn't happen, instead of three segregations then, you would have four today with the Chinese added and you know where the South Asians would rank. Wake up girl and smell the roses in England. You could even have your own email in your jolly new home country if you wanted to! Roland. Toronto.
