How did the people of Burma express their hatred towards the narrator and his race in 'Shooting an Elephant' by George Orwell?

I believe that you can find all the examples that you need
for this question in the first paragraph of the essay. There, the narrator gives at
least a few ways in which the people of Burma showed that they hated the
colonizers.


Here are a few
examples:


  • If there was a European woman alone in
    a market place, they would surely spit betel nut juice (very reddish black stuff) on her
    dress.

  • When they played soccer, the opponents would foul
    the narrator and the referee would not call it.

  • People
    would "hoot" at him and jeer at him when he was a safe distance away from
    them.
