Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Quote
As they walked out of the store, Ifemelu said, I was waiting for her to ask ‘Was it the one with two eyes or the one with two legs?’ Why didn’t she just ask ‘Was it the black girl or the white girl?’Ginika laughed. Because this is America. You’re supposed to pretend that you don’t notice certain things.
