I read ‘“No, I meant where are you really from?” on being black and German’ by Ella Achola the other day. It’s a post from August 2014 that did the rounds again on my Twitter feeds and that remains much relevant. She rightly points out that the question “where are you really from?” is a micro-agression.

**I’**ve tried and failed many times to write this post before. I guess I still can’t write it properly. I never will. I met Manrico in 1994. We were close friends and collaborators for about a decade. Life eventually took us through different countries and different paths, but our friendship was solid and deep.
