[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a very white town and moved to a Boston when I was 18. I was working for starbucks and after a few months I was promoted to shift supervisor over a young Black woman who had been working for the store for a year. I was surprised because objectively she was better at her job and knew more than I did. The manager said it was because I was always on time, which was true, but even considering the timeliness issue (and she was late very rarely) as a manger myself, the other person was clearly the better pick. At the time, I don't think I realized it was a racial preference, but in retrospect it was. The same thing happened when I worked for starbucks in Chicago and I ended up quitting-not because I was such an antiracist, but I didn't want the hours and responsibility they pushed on me.[/quote]
