    As the say, nobody's perfect.

    Yesterday on the train :

    I was in the carriage standing next to two white men, at one of the stops a big group of black and coloured people got onto the train. The one white guy looked at the other and asked "Are you sure this is 1st class carriage?"

    Now i'm certain this can be construed in different ways.

    Or nothing at all to do with race :

    3) Didn't expect 1st class to become so full.

    We'll never know.

    Not sure if sarcasm.

    But anyway, he did open the door for a coloured woman when she wanted to go out. Not sure if to help her or urgently wanted less people of colour on the train
