The school nurse efficiently wiped the blood of Sek’s legs; the Vancouver City Medical officer visited the family home and poked about their rooms: Is it always this damp? Only rich not damp, said Father in the broken English he used with white authorities…They’re the authority. And they’re doing their job. It sounds familiar nowadays. Generalization is unfair, tough.
Good. The teacher at school didn’t mind Sek’s accent, either. He wasn’t any different from the Japanese, Ukranian, Russian, Jewish and Italian boys and girls in her class.
