[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a minority woman ( Latina), I am pretty and dress up well, I also treat people very well. Everywhere I go, I am catered to and people are nice to me, no complaints. Sometimes, it comes down to [b]how WE treat people and what sort of vibes they get from us[/b].[/quote] TRUE but that also just includes a lack of confidence. Some of my minority friends go into a retail encounter with fear they will be ignored and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. [/quote] And GUESS why they might do that? One person’s “self-fulfilling prophecy” is another person’s history of bearing the brunt of other people’s racism. Which, I grant you, can take a toll on one’s confidence. [/quote] Sure, I don't disagree with that. I had a black boss whose confidence going forward was always hindered by her past experiences. Tough cycle to break out of. [/quote]
