A righteous clapback at outrightly bigoted folks is a superb way to restore faith in humanity, so when Nhita (@abnorxmal on Twitter) launched into a thread about an allegedly racist mother and her child getting what they deserved, of course it started trending.

The incident itself happened at a tuition center where Nhita’s sister works as a full-time tutor, but the victim of the story was the sister’s colleague, an Indian lady noted to be “well-qualified” to teach Science and Math. But it wasn’t the qualifications that one of her students had a problem with — it was about her very heritage. Honestly, we’d be livid AF if we were in her shoes when the kid suddenly whipped out a can of body spray and started spraying it in the classroom.

Why? Because the child said it was “smelly because of the Indian”.

The tutor was verified not to have a body odor problem (not that it matters). But what made matters worse was that the child’s mother actually agreed and tried getting the head of the tuition center to change the tutor. So we’re guessing that explains the child’s ignorant upbringing.

Righteous heads prevailed here, and the prejudiced mother and her child got the treatment they deserved. They were chased out of the premises with a broom, putting a new spin on sweeping the hate out.

Nhita then ended her story with a message of solidarity against racism, calling for all to stay woke for a more inclusive Singapore. Huzzah!

Others brought up similar incidents in which Indians got unfairly discriminated just because of their race.
