Interesting conversation I had with a co-worker. We were talking about this one gentleman who left our team. (Yeah...gossip so shame on me)....and I had mentioned that he had made racists statements to me once. She looked me
up and
down with this puzzled stare and was like: "What
kind of racial comments did he make to
you?" I could tell she thought I was 100%
Caucasian...even a white person can receive racial statements. The man who made these
stupid remarks is also
Caucasian. Racism comes in
all colors, honey
not just
one flavor.
The co-worker is African American. I told her that I am Hispanic and that the man also made derogatory remarks against my ex who is Arab. That shut her up but how should I have taken this?????
