Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My Asian names are all hidden. Used to be clear I was Japanese. But with a western first name and a western married name, none of my phone contacts ever knew.
And how sad would we have been if you worked here, and we only found out after the fact?? V. sad.
Anyway, I'm still up in arms about the fact that these forms still use "Hispanic/Latino" as a racial designation. NOT A RACE, PEOPLE!!
Used to be clear I was Japanese.
I'm of indeterminate origin based on appearance and name. People here assume I am latina. And Grace (a more chinese baby could not be born in my family) is listed as caucasian on the hospitals forms. I confuse people (Noah's optho asked if I adopted him!).
Okay, so it made me smile in the dirty way, but that counts, right?
shrift, did you already have that photo before I sent it to you?
Jesse, your forms shoud just say, "not whitey!"
The heading to this [link] made me smile today.
It's not making me smile.
Anyway, I'm still up in arms about the fact that these forms still use "Hispanic/Latino" as a racial designation. NOT A RACE, PEOPLE!!
We have it as an ethnicity which causes a whole nother problem because the government says Hispanic is white, and some of our Mexican-American clients disagree.
Now it is!
Tell me the last thing that made you smile?
I can't remember.
I got into an argument (with one of the stealth Chinese instructors) about whether or not her friend could have been from Chile (what she'd said was that he was from Chili's-I just heard wrong). She said no, he was too white.
Sometimes I just shrug and say "you're ALL white to me." But it irritates me when people can't file the same people as Hispanic and white, or Hispanic and black.
