[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sends a pretty clear message about what they think about you and your role in this group.[/quote] Yeah. Agree. For the record, I’m a Black woman, and they are both white women. (One is young; one is about the same age as me.) [OP][/quote] Yeah, and I’m sure you’re telling everything truthfully and as it happened. Suuuurrreee![/quote] NP here, I'm aalso a black woman and this is the treatment we are used to. Like do you realize that a WOC is saying that she felt slighted/not taken seriously and your response is to... not take her seriously. You're trying to insinuate that what she described is unlikely, but you're literally doing the same thing. [/quote] I’m the white person who posted that I think black people often have better manners and are more conscious of body language etc than white people, especially white northeasterners. No doubt sometimes white people are treating black people with less respect because of racism, including unconscious racism. But many times I think it’s just a cultural difference. Many white people don’t see it as necessary to, say, nod or say hello to someone they pass in the corridors, black or white. They’re thinking about something else. Then the black person assume it’s because they are black when really it’s just the white person wasn’t raised to be more polite.[/quote]
