I grew up in South Africa
For most of my younger years I was under the belief that every time a white person had a baby with a black partner it would always turn out albino. I think I was about 13 when I realised this wasn't true.

We had a maid. She used to clean, cook and get horrendously drunk on her day off. She used to live in a little maids quarters out round the back of the house. She was very superstitious and used to sleep on bricks to keep the 'tokolosh' away. He's a mystical creature with horns and a tail and a massive penis ,so they say, and he takes you away in the night. As I recall the only thing that took her away in the night were the police when one of her boyfriends came to visit only to find her in bed with another man. It ended up turning into a drunken brawl in the street and that was the last we saw of Constance.

I also had this unfaltering belief that all black men had large penis's. How my long held generalisations based on scant research and heresy were shattered when a friend confirmed to the contrary. She had encountered some small black one's. Well, when she said small she meant larger than a small frankfurter sausage, but not as big as her arm. Her words, not mine.

And no post on ignorance would be complete with indulging you in the utterances of a female. In this case my ex. She once asked me how many sides a triangle has. She asked this while were half way through City of God so quite where the context and thought pattern which led to this was contrived from is beyond me.
