‘Salut les racistes, salut les racistes’ a young man yells at us as we leave a bakery in Dakar after buying fresh bread on a Sunday morning. I am not sure if I am hearing it correctly so I turn around and listen carefully. ‘Salut les racistes’ he continues, hello racists. I am shocked and offended. For a moment I want to walk over to him and talk to him. Does he even know what he is saying? Does he know that he hurts me?
Then I realize that someone who yells something like this must be either full of frustration or crazy. Antoine says to me that the guy is a racist himself. Getting involved with this is maybe not the best idea. I decide to walk on and continue a quiet Sunday morning, but it keeps bothering me. A smart decision or a missed chance for a good conversation?

Or maybe, maybe, we’d like to think ‘raciste’ means racer, as in bike racer??? We wish that was his thought.
