        I remember when people use to hold their nose, when they saw Chinese people. It's something they learned from the original nose holders.

        The sight of an African is a novelty in much of China. When I was there everyone wanted to have their picture taken with my black colleague.

        I know a Ugandan businessman who was mobbed leaving his hotel because a rumor started that Chris Tucker was staying there.😕

        Look at you now, aren't you married to one of those who hold their nose when they see you? You should be laughing at them when they do!
