"Well for starters, you take her out of her (brown) country
and put her in a white one. This way you make her realize she is brown, a
lower-ranked pawn in the chessboard of colors. This is just the beginning.
Repeatedly and loudly compliment her on her command of the English language, so
that she does not forget that she is foreign, that language too is a colonial
legacy, over which she has flimsy claim. Ask her if she learned how to speak so
fluently from the movies or her parents (because they belong together on the
spectrum of parenting)."
