Race Realists posted:She stared at me for a few seconds and remarked, “Oh. I didn’t see you. You blended in. You’re so black, you blend into the chair.” I didn’t believe what I was hearing and I didn’t know what to do. I looked at my arm, compared it to the chair in front of her. This never happened.

When I was in college I also worked as a corrections officer. We got this super attractive Cuban girl that started working there as a admin assistant and I heard one of the older guys try to tell her she was pretty in the most uncomfortable way, he compared her to the aliens from Avatar because she was super-leggy and tall with an exotic look. She just got really weirded out and I just pretended to need her help with a form to help her get out of the conversation. Guy who said it was nice, but some guys just say dumb creepy poo poo without any idea.

not that this excuses the blatant racism she experienced and HR's dismissive attitude toward her, but she got fired from squarespace for drunkenly physically assaulting one of her coworkers at a work event and then she tried to sue them lol

I really don't doubt most of these stories of oblivious IT workers saying oblivious things, but I attribute it more to aspergers than being white or any "-ism"YeahTubaMike posted:not that this excuses the blatant racism she experienced and HR's dismissive attitude toward her, but she got fired from squarespace for drunkenly physically assaulting one of her coworkers at a work event and then she tried to sue them lol I'm shocked that this didn't make it into the article, but "bad employee gets fired" probably doesn't make for a good headline.
