A friend of mine from the Big Apple emailed me to ask “who are what is a kikuyu?”.
This is what I told him:
From your office block in Manhattan walk 6 blocks east until you reach the World Trade Center site. Here you will find people laying flowers, others taking pictures, a hot dog stand doing brisk business and so on.
If you wait for five minutes a black man will approach you with a shoe box. Inside the shoe-box you will find a piece of dusty rubble. The man will tell you with great animation that this piece of concrete is an “original” fragment from the World Trade Center, and it can be yours for a price.
That man with the shoe-box will almost certainly be a kikuyu.
Quite funny..but could be true
