“One of the designer-bedecked (African) councilors began castigating the crowd. She had once lived in a shack, she screamed. Why were the Indians resisting evictions and demanding upgrades? Indians were just too privileged...One elderly aunty... screamed back ‘We are not Indians. We are the poors’”(p. 44).
