first thought?  What was she wearing?

sounds horrible, I know
But I can't imagine anyone asking that question of a person dressed business attire - or even "casual dressy."

[quote]She said she remembers a time when she was walking down a hallway at UCLA and someone asked her to change the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom, assuming that she was part of the maintenance staff on campus. She added that she thinks the person assumed she was not a faculty member because she is black.[/quote][/quote]

If that's racist, what about Obama pal and aide Valerie Jarrett who infamously asked a (white) two-star general (in formal dress uniform) to get her a drink, thinking he was a waiter.?! I'd call that the clueless request of a prima donna (and the only White House aide with her own Secret Service detail).  While I might accuse Jarrett of not understanding the military, I wouldn't call her a racist because of it.[/quote]

I bet you have been carrying that story around for months.  Whew, you got to use it.[/quote]
