Iqtiboslar

Esimda, oliy matematik tahlil (advanced calculus) kursidan dars har kuni ertalab soat 7 da boʻlardi va uni magistratura talabasi oʻtardi. Sinfda nafaqat yagona ayol, balki yagona qora tanli edim. Men eshikning deyarli yonida oʻtirardim va haqiqatda yakkalanib qolgandim. Sinfda gaplashishga hech kimim yoʻq edi; hatto sinfda yana ikkita qiz boʻlsa-da, ular mendan xuddi vabo yuqtirib olishdan qoʻrqqandek qochishardi. Chunki u paytlarda, agar siz oq tanli ayol boʻlmasangiz, hech kim bilan, balki faqat nogironligi bor erkaklar bilangina muloqot qilishingiz mumkin edi.

I remember that the advanced calculus course was taught by a graduate student and met at 7 A.M. every morning, and not only was I the only woman, I was the only black in the class. I sat right next to the door and I was truly isolated. I had no one to talk to in the class; even though there were two other girls in the class, they avoided me like I was some sort of plague, because if you're not a white woman, you can't associate with anybody except maybe handicapped men.

	Atrofimdagi bu boʻshliq (izolyatsiya) qora tanli boʻlganim uchun yaratilganmidi, ayol boʻlganim uchunmi yoki ikkalasi sabablimidi?
	Was my vacuum created because I was black or female or both?

	U menga dunyoning tartibi shundayligini, biz buni qabul qilishimiz kerakligini, bunga qarshi hech narsa qila olmasligimizni va shunchaki oʻtirib, bunga moslashishimiz lozimligini tushuntirdi.
	She just explained to me that this was the way the world was, and we had to accept it, and there was nothing we can do about it, and we had to just sit there and adjust to it.
