Listing race in email signature?

[Anonymous]

This crap is too much.

We had people at my former company putting all manner of ‘stuff’ in their email signature - everything from bible verses, to a dumb quotes, to a video link describing ‘ze/zir’ pronouns. The company finally sent an email saying signatures should only contain name, title, phone, email, and company website.

As God intended...

No no no. We need more Identity Labels!! More and more.
So many and at such a young age that you fully commit to all your labels and made them so oblivious that you don’t dare change them again. Because everyone will know then. You’ll be outed. You changed your identity label, gasp!!

As a Psychiatrist, this is becoming more common. Someone who has trauma associated with a certain race will not want to receive treatment from that race.

I've had potential clients ask my political affiliation before making appointments.

Whenever I see this I roll my eyes. I mean come on, chances are the person using this travels via airplane how many times a year leaving huge carbon loads with each trip and yet they really believe that printing out an email will help the environment? The disconnect both amuses and frustrates me.

In what way is any of this madness?

Wait...HR told me I had to do it. Felt a little anachronistic at first, but I'm getting used to it.

Maybe this is working for them, but I somehow doubt it.

I've seen this, but I prefer to use "pure white-blooded" in my own signature. Friends have told me this doesn't hit how I think it does, but who knows.

How about also our age, income, Myers Briggs type, number of FB friends, religion or lack thereof, who we voted for, and paste our DNA results?

Doesn’t this all boil down to:

- separating people?

Maybe a little emoji would be more illustrative. Like a little star of david. Yeah. Maybe yellow?

I am not quite sure how or why.

But I am absolutely sure it’s the MAGAs who are doing all of this!

I think religion is dumb but I don’t get my panties in a twist if someone says grace before a meal or tells me to have a blessed day.

EXACTLY! I am so sick of people acting like pronouns are so awful and yet we have government employees praying before sessions in Congress. BS on that.

Hmm. I guess that's worth a shot. We'll never know until we try.
