Okay, so I recently started learning Esperanto and have been reading through the Nakamura story over on courses and just... chapter 4 is something else XD

Young Nakamura looks at a picture that's clearly not supposed to be Obama when he was the US president.

Young Nakamura: "Kiu estas tiu?"

Old Nakamura: "Tiu estas la prezidanto de Usono."

Young Nakamura: "Sed li estas nigra!"

It was at this line that I nearly did a spit take. There was just something so sadly funny about the casual racism, that I couldn't help but laugh.

And then it got worse.

Old Nakamura: "Jes, la nuna prezidanto de Usono estas nigrulo."

Young Nakamura: "Sed tio ne eblas!"

At this point I was beside myself with laughter at just how bad it got. With tears in my eyes, I nearly fell off my bed. To make matters somehow even worse the chapter is titled, 'I Don't Believe It!' not as in, 'I can't believe I'm meeting my self from the future,' but, 'I can't
believe the president of the United States in 2012 is black'. Old Nakamura even laughs off the blatant racist remark at the end.

Just... woof XD

I was expecting a silly Esperanto time travel story; I wasn't expecting it to get so real lol
