“Hello, I am Charley,<\/em>” zei de goedlachse Aziatische man bij de brillenbeurs in Amsterdam Centrum waar ik de hele dag Koreaanse brillenproducenten heb zitten interviewen.<\/h3>\n

Hij had beide handen uitgestoken met tussen zijn duimen en wijsvingers zijn visitekaart.\u00a0
\nIk pakte het en gaf hem de mijne, op dezelfde respectvolle Aziatische manier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ik zag zijn ogen groot worden van verbazing terwijl hij ernaar keek.\u00a0
\n“Wow!,<\/em>” zei hij. “AFRO” .\u00a0
\nIk glimlachte: “yes, like my hair,<\/em>” en ik wees naar mijn kale knikker.\u00a0
\nHij glimlachte terug.
\n“In Korean Afro means advancement.”<\/em>\u00a0
\nIk zei: “seriously? Can you spell that for me?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hij gritste mijn pen uit mijn hand, draaide mijn notebook naar zich toe, krabbelde iets. en schoof het terug naar me.\u00a0
\n“Can you read that?<\/em>” vroeg hij.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ik las met ingehouden adem: “AFRO”.<\/p>\n

Zijn grijns was enorm.\u00a0\u00a0“Yes. Different word, but same prounounciation. Now you know<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“Thanks for telling me,”<\/em> zei ik.\u00a0Ik glimalchte weer, trots en ik gaf hem een knipoog.\u00a0
\n“… it does say something about me and about my people. Now I know.”<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
