Nigerian man shares what happened after a white patient was racist to him but he didn

A Nigerian man has gone on X to narrate what happened when he laughed off a white patient's racist words.

He shared the story while reacting to a tweet by an X user that reads: "I discovered a life hack by accident. A relative insulted me, and I missed it. I just kept being nice to him, so he insulted me again. He ended up stopping the conversation to let me know I was supposed to be insulted. It bothered him that I didn't react. You know what...?"

The Nigerian man, who is based abroad quoted the tweet and wrote: "A white patient called me a 'nigga' and I burst into laughter. He then repeated it and I laughed harder. He asked why I wasn't offended and I said that I'm Nigerian.

"He then asked me to go back to my country on the monkey boat I came on. I found that funny too and laughed some more. He asked why and I said that I came on an airplane.

"I always remember the interaction because by the time I walked away, he was very offended by my laughter and that I wasn't offended. I learned a lesson that day."

He continued: "On a different day, another patient said something to me and I carried on. So, a colleague interrupted and apologised on behalf of the patient. I was told that what the patient said was racist and the patient was told off.

"I always remember this because I didn't even know that the statement was racist. If my colleague isn't interrupted, I would have carried on without knowing that I was supposed to be offended by the racism."
