‘I Was Mistaken For A Nigerian Fraudster’ - Samuel Eto'o

"My brother can afford this and the way you're treating him shows that you think just because he's black, he can't afford this watch," said the sibling.
Eto'o then takes up the story, saying the lady in the store said she was wary of him because:
"we had some Nigerians in the store the other day who came with fake credit cards."
"If one of my own makes a mistake, they judge us all. Tomorrow, if a white man in Africa makes a mistake, we should judge all white people? No!
"The security guard from Senegal kept trying to justify what the lady said and I asked him where he's from. When he told me, I said, 'Ahh. If I gave you my name, you will recognize who I am?'
"He shrugged and I said, 'I'm Eto'o.' He went, 'Nooooo! Just yesterday, my wife and I were talking about you! Can I take a picture with you and send it to my wife?'
"I said, 'Yes, we can take a picture, but you made a mistake because you can't judge people by the color of their skin,' so he told me it wasn't because of our color.
"I told the lady, 'In my next interview, I'm going to tell them about this and I'll name the store so everyone can know that you treat people differently here,' added Eto'o referring to the saleswoman.
"She then realized that I could have reported what she had just done, but it was a mistake. It was a mistake of her to categorize. I don't think she's a racist person, but she stereotyped all black people as 'those people'."
