In South-Africa you have Reject
Stores. They sell clothes that have
flaws or some imperfections.
It makes them cheaper.
Every group discriminates.
They kick out those they feel don’t
fit in; or leave out others because
of a limited amount of space
(or other reasons).
I’d rather be abused than rejected
