When Maya* started a new teaching job, she did not expect to be called the n-word as she walked down the corridor.
The bullying from her fellow teachers proved relentless. She was called a “curry lover” and believes she was hidden from meeting parents at one point due to her skin colour.
It was not just racism she faced there but also sexism. Male colleagues told her she would have to “bend over a desk to get a promotion” and had “blowjob lips”. Incidents like these happened “almost every day”, she says.
Eventually forced to leave her job, Maya signed a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) making her unable to speak about the abuse she suffered. As part of the conditions of her exit, she also received a significant payout, which she describes as “money to keep quiet”.
100% curry lover here. Every type of curry is delicious, and any person who uses it as an insult is obviously unbelievably dull and parochial.
Truth right here. I’ve been privileged to travel the world and curries are hands down the most flavourful dishes this planet has to offer.
It’s like someone calling you a spice lover
It’s like telling on yourself.
Oh yeah? Well I bet you like ice cream too, ya fucking degenerate!
