[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal with it. So the woman is not friendly to you. How does it actually affect your life? Let it go. Do not report her and possibly have this (probably poor) hourly worker lose her job. You don't want that kind of bad karma. Just let her be. And, realize that many black people deal with this kind of treatment DAILY from whites. I am black, very friendly, professional and polished looking and got followed/ignored (yes, in the SAME trip by different salespeople) last week at Anthopologie while the white customers got very different service at the same time. [b]I guess you just aren't used to it as a white person[/b]. [/quote] I am so freaking sick of hearing that because I am white, I do not "get" discrimination. Please...enough already you sound ridiclous. I get stereotyped all the time as a very short, petite, woman who looks like she is 16 years-old. I get laughed at when I order a drink, I have had the cops threatened to be called when I used my ID at a liquor store, I have people try to butt in front me in lines at places thinking I am a child and will not say anything, and the list goes on. Not to mention I am a woman in a finance field that moved to the top quickly so I get looks and rude comments from men I work with about my ability a good amount. I do not go through life throwing this in people's faces these negative experiences, nor do I act like I am a victim. I DO get what it is like so quit your bullshit already.[/quote] Not the pp, but your comparisons are laughable. Are you really trying to make this argument? Wow..... SMDH. You absolutely, 100% DO NOT know what it's like to be discriminated against, based on being black. To claim otherwise is foolish. [/quote] Of course I do not for being black because I am not black. But to say that white people do not get discrimination because they are not black is incredibly ignorant and stupid. Good god I am so glad I do not live my life thinking about each and everytime I get a stare or a look because then I would be as miserable and rude as pp. But wait...I am white so I dont get it. Please bitch get a life and seek some help![/quote] You sound unbalanced. You yourself claimed that you "DO get what it is like". My point is that...you really don't. No one is saying that blacks are constantly on the lookout for racism. But, if you aren't black, you wouldn't have any concept about what it's like living in America. You don't get to dismiss our experiences just because you have lived through them. BTW, thanks for calling me a bitch. Seems like you've accomplished your goal of being "miserable and rude". [/quote]
