Peony was not a racist but she was dismayed at being the only white woman in the room. How come?? |

Were there any other people in the room? If so, how many? Were there any other white people in the room? If so, how many? Were there any other women in the room? If so, how many? |

Did Peony know the other women in the room? Had she been in the room before? How often? Were the women all in the room for the same purpose? Did this happen this century? last century? earlier? does it matter? |

You mean white woman as in the race? Were there women of other races in the room? Were they going to do something? Was something going to be done to them? Were they abducted by aliens? |

Did the other women know each other? Was the common purpose for being in the room connected to employment? recreation? religion? sport? finance? health? travel? The answers to the questions about time suggest this was not an actual event. Just to confirm - was this a real life event? is it from a fictional source? did you make it up? Could it have taken place two hundred years ago? three hundred years ago? four hundred years ago? five hundred years ago? a thousand years ago? two thousand years ago? earlier? |

her dismay: because she thought she would have to do something she didn't want to? would not be able to do something she wanted to? because something unpleasant might happen to her? that something pleasant might not happen? did she think she might lose some sort of benefit? or fail to gain some kind of benefit? is she dismayed because she thought there should be more white women there? a higher proportion? or because she thought there should be fewer non-whites? a lower proportion? would she have been happy if she had been in the same situation but with 4 white women added? for the dismay to go would there have to be no non-whites? an equal proportion of whites to non-whites? more whites than non-whites? could this situation arise with males only? mixed males and females? mixed adults and children? are all the women in the room adults? relevant? |

the fact that she was the only white woman - would this mean she would stand out more? be singled out in some way? was she hoping to 'hide behind' other white women? is education relevant? shopping? buying? selling? does she say anything relevant? is anything relevant said to her? is it relevant how long she has been in the room? seconds? mins? hours? days? relevant how long she will be in the room? seconds? mins? hours? days? is she there by choice? can she leave at any time? are the other women there by choice? are they being watched? dod they have to make a decision? will they talk to each other? are they there for a purpose ? which involves being creative? will they perform any relevant actions? any legal issues involved? does the absence of white women imply that she has made a mistake? |
