[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares. I really mean that:  No.One.Cares. Meaning that if your idea of small talk is telling me about your sorority and your debutant balls and teas, I really don’t care. You don’t need to hide it.  Many of also also belong to sororities and even made debuts.  For the most part, we don’t bring that kind of personal stuff to work with us though. I won’t be scouring your social media.  Just be a decent, competent coworker — that’s all I care about.

Also, you should know that DC — not “Washington” — used to be very much a Southern city.  See the famous quote by JFK.  So if you’re talking to DC natives about your “Southern” identity, wondering why some of us might seem “judgmental” to you, it might be because you’ve said something that makes one of us think that you’re repping for the KKK or the Daughters of the Confederacy — as opposed to, say, being upset that it’s hard to find White Lily flour at local grocery stores.

Examples would be nice, if you’d care to share a few, just so we all have a clearer idea of what exactly it is that you think might be prompting judgmental responses from your coworkers.

Do you honestly think she's saying something that suggests she's "repping for the KKK?" Get over your arrogant self. [/quote]

If you're an "actual" southerner from the south and your family had money when they were growing up... well, you're only 2 generations displaced from Jim Crow, i.e., your grandparents. And 4-5 (i.e., their grandparents) from cohabitating certain public spaces with former slaves that you despised so much that you passed laws so you didn't have to cohabitate with them. Its shameful that people that proudly say they're from the south actually mean the white part of it. [/quote]

Shut up, idiot. 
Signed, a white, Trump-hating liberal.[/quote]

A lot of ignorance and bigotry in this thread[/quote]

Yes, a whole lot of racists and they're mostly white, and likely UMC. You all complained about putting a white cloth over your mouth during Covid while walking around covering your heads with white hoods.[/quote]

White hoods?

- that is 100% a Southern Democrat thing.[/quote]

You are 100% ignorant. White people are the greatest purveyors of remanufacturing history ever. Do some research, learn your heritage, check your grandparents' attics, ask questions. Maybe your family is among the few that were relatively innocent. But you can't claim to be a humanist or a liberal, anti-MAGA on the left, or a Christian on the right, if you're unwilling to self reflect and at least acknowledge this country's history.

Wow - revisionist history, much?  The KKK was a Southern Democrat-created organization, 100%:

National sentiment gathered to crack down on the Klan, even though some Democrats at the national level questioned whether the Klan really existed, or believed that it was a creation of nervous Southern Republican governors.  In the South, where the great majority of whites were Democrats, the Klansmen were Democrats.  Southern Democrats formed the backbone of resistance against desegregation through the civil rights are of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.[/quote]
