[quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish from a basically non-practicing family but we never did anything Christian.

Had a job out of grad school with DC gov't at a social service office.  Director hired me to be the token white person (I wish I had known she hated white people - some of my co-workers were wonderful but the high ups hated me even though they choose me and made it clear my race was a problem).  They would not give me any work beyond secretarial (not in my scope but I happily did it) and clean up/support work.  At Christmas, the Director tasked me with decorating for Christmas.  I told her I had no idea how to do a Christmas tree she provided but if she insisted I'd do the best I could.  She flipped out I did the lights wrong.  She didn't give me any ornaments and told me to figure it out.  I used some of the toys we had in the office.   It actually looked pretty nice and kid friendly but of course she wasn't too happy about it (others were very amused).

Transfered to another county.  They did a lot of prayers at group meals they would get upset about you opting out of. It was extremely uncomfortable and when I told my supervisor I'd prefer not to she made all kinds of threats.  The irony was during her staff meetings she always ranted about being culturally sensitive and respecting others beliefs.    [/quote]
