Back in University days
I met a bus driver.
I enjoyed talking to him
but he was of indigenous origin.
One day our conversation
turned to the middle ages.
I had joined a group that had fun
pretending to live in medieval times.
He liked the idea of recreating the past
and having fun as one of his ancestors.
To this day I regret trying to dissuade him
from playing an indigenous person.
To white privileged me,
Only European characters should be in the game.
Today, I apologize to him, even though
he may never know, and to all others
I have hurt by my ignorant biases.
