[quote=Anonymous]To the OP: Yes, I have the same experience. I'm a black man who attended a top 25 school undergrad and grad. There were people who doubted my credibility and made it clear directly or subtly. I've had the same experience in my career - especially when I was younger. Don't let it get to you. I remind myself that my parents attended segregated schools and dealt with much worse. I tell my children, especially my son, that they won’t get the benefit of the doubt and that they have to work harder and excel to be taken seriously. It's wrong. But, that's our country. [/quote]
