On Friday, a Nigerian-American couple awoke to find graffiti
that invoked both a racial slur and the name of the Dumbass in the
driveway of the house they’ve lived in for 18 years.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Toks and
Ayotunde Ayodele, two Nigerian immigrants who share a physician’s
practice in Rock Hill, South Carolina, had never experienced racial
hatred like they woke up to on Friday morning.
“In 2017, you don’t expect that,” Toks, the 64-year-old wife of the couple, told the Observer.
“We’re a couple that minds our business. We help people in the
neighborhood any way we can. It makes you wonder and doubt if people are
really true and genuine with us.”
“In 18 years, I’ve never felt not wanted,” Toks told local news channel WCNC.
