Conductor:
[stopping Gandhi on the train in South Africa]
What are you doing in here, coolie? Gandhi:
I reserved this car. I have a ticket. Conductor:
How did you get hold of it? Gandhi:
I sent for it by post. I am an attorney. European Passenger:
An attorney! There are no colored attorneys in South Africa - move your black ass into third class where it belongs! Porter:
I'll take your luggage, sir... Gandhi:
No, wait. [he takes out his card and shows it] Gandhi:
You see? 'Mohandas K. Gandhi, Attorney at Law.' I am on my way to Pretoria to conduct a case... European Passenger:
Didn't you hear me? There are no colored attorneys in South Africa! Gandhi:
Sir, I was called to the bar in London, and enrolled in the High Court of Chancery. I am therefore an attorney. And since I am, in your eyes, 'colored,' I think we can deduce that there is at least one colored attorney in South Africa
