Am I Jealous of White People?
<p>I took my boyfriend to a fancy lunch in the countryside of Lima for his birthday. We sat facing a fire pit, in a grassy, countryside eco-restaurant with plenty of tourists. As we waited for our food, we saw a white woman with her Peruvian husband. She had laid a blanket on the grass. She then started changing the baby’s diaper. Right there. Another white friend of mine did the same baby-changing trick in an upscale ice cream parlor in Lima. “If she had been black!” my boyfriend said, rolling his eyes.</p>
<p>I’m not against people changing their babies’ business in public, but, seriously, at an upscale restaurant? And no one said a word, no one even gave a look. Yes, if she had been black, I am pretty sure security would have been called. “That is so unhygienic. There are changing rooms in the back. Have a little more respect for the other guests.” Finger wags. Stares. Calls to the manager.</p>
