Funny I got a Bus from New Orleans not knowing got on the back seat, and noticed all the Blacks looking at me. I said something wrong,a Black woman by my side said youre not from round here, I said no from England. She said the back of the bus is Blacks only, I said you dont mind do you, smiling she said no. Told here it seemed funny to me as in England at the time in fact 8 years I was sharing a flat with a Black Guy, anyway had a great journey and made a few freinds, The Busdriver gave me a funny look.

I did the same once about 30 years back somewhere in Europe. I got stared at from over the way by all these white faces frowning looking me up and down and stuff and then realized I was sitting on the black side of the train carriage.

Its never existed out here in the southern reaches of Australia but has in the far north I hear.

We've been camping in our panel van on the beaches in an Aboriginal area and had a large aboriginal man just leap in and plunk his self down between us and start snoring, we gave him a lift into his home town in the morning once we all woke up.
