Cross-cultural interaction

So this lady just called me to invite me to a lecture on Cross-Cultural Currents hosted by the Asian Study Group and says to me, perfectly matter of fact: "Rafay, if you know any "goras", can you bring them along." Then, I think, she understood she had sounded like and clarified: "It's for cross-cultural interaction, you know" and tried to laugh it off. The effect was to get her even more stuck into what she had meant.

My oh my, how The Rascism works both ways.
