Why does Poppy assume that I am white and that my friends are 'coloured' ?
Even if he had read it correctly, unless he knows me, there's nothing to say that I'm not Nigerian and the mixed race family could equally well be white Anglo Saxon and Native American!  The assumption of Poppy's couldn't have been .................  ............ a racist one could it?
