very powerful! I have experiences similar things. when working in recruitment we were told about companies that had said “off the record” that they did not want to see any black candidates and that they only wanted to see the “right kind of Asians” whatever that means. it made me feel sick. I left the company.
I can’t stand it when other white people are racists in front of me, thinking that because I am also white that I will agree with them. it never ceases to shock and upset me.
it is also disgusting how often this comes up. how often people I don’t know will say racists things. it makes me think that this is something that is constantly on peoples minds and that they talk about it a lot.
more white people I know bring up race then any people of color I know — and when my friends of color do bring it up its normally in frustration because they have experienced yet more discrimination.
it makes me sick.
