[quote=Anonymous]I'm brown. I've had a white co-worker tell me they were heading off to the Virgin Islands and looking forward to getting a tan and coming back brown. It was awkward for me, but went right over their head. If it was a close friend, I would have cracked a joke about it, but felt awkward from a co-worker. I reflected on why that made me feel that way and other than the obvious color factor, I think it's harder in the workplace where there are already advantages to being white and then to have someone with those advantages joke about hoping to come back brown leaves a bad feeling that is hard to put into words.
