Firstly I have “kept this under my brow” because I didn’t want to believe that what you were saying was aimed at me as I believed that you had more respect for me as a person than that. However, the more I came to think about it the more angrier I got and believed that you were infact insulting me with your comment.

Secondly your comment about that particular person was that she was narrowminded because of her refugee background and poor socioeconomic state. THOSE WERE YOUR EXACT WORDS. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t like her or whatever, even though you are insulting her you are also insulting me because I am in the same “state” as her. My parents are refugees ( I told you about their entire trip to Australia before you made the comment. Did that just slip your mind did it?). So how could you go and make such a ridiculous comment?

I don’t think I have blown this out of proportion. My parents and their background mean a lot to me. Their sacrifice of leaving their country to come here for the wellbeing of my and my sister is something that I won’t have people look down upon, especially in such a manner where it makes us out to be bad “narrow minded” people. Therefore, I feel I needed to stand up to you and tell EVERYONE that there are people like this out there.

By the way are you forgetting that Christine’s parents are also refugees? Oh but I guess that is okay with you isn’t it? I am not going to speak on behalf of her but I personally think she wouldn’t want to associate with you knowing that you think so low of people like us with a “poor socioeconomic” background.

I do agree with you that this is the end of the friendship and there definitely is an inequality in our friendship spectrum…you thinking that you are more superior to me and my friends,ex friends whoever… To me, that is not a true friend. When you are really friends with someone…their background, money situation, status doesn’t matter it’s the person that matters. I thought you of all people would understand that.

I thought everything was actually going well between us before your unappreciation for my gift and this bullshit started. So don’t pretend that this isn’t about the present or whatever. Don’t try and put some bullcrap about our “gap in thinking”……..

If you do really know me as much as you claim to, you would know that one thing I hate the most in life is when people start thinking they are better than others just because of their money, status in society, education levels and all those other materialistic things.
It is unfortunate that we can not be friends. But you know what? I am glad that you did call me that night, you shouldn’t have regretted it because it really proved to me what type of person you are and how wrong I was about you.
