I'm a lazy expat bum/neo-colonialist scumbag
Well, I finally did it. I've hired a village woman to clean my room and do my laundry. I'm trying to justify it to myself by saying that I'm creating employment and redistributing my income, but I feel guilty as hell as a white western woman to be paying a poor African woman to do my housework. I'm paying her a pittance, and though it's more than the usual wage, I know that if I was a big multinational paying a third world woman of colour so little, I'd be the first to boycott.
