Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh my god, -t, that's awful!
So I thought I was coming here with an awful thing to post, but so much less awful than that! Nevertheless, I will post it. I just heard the most racist conversation I've heard in a long time! Will represent with fake names. Ann, a senior person, is in the lobby meeting a visitor, John. Ann's assistant is also standing there. Ann says, "John, I'd like to introduce my new assistant, Jen Wong. Oh! John, you studied East Asia, right? ... I mean, not that that's the only thing about you, Jen! But you do speak Mandarin, right?" As I'm walking away, I hear John trying, and apparently failing, to say something in Mandarin.
I am MORTIFIED. And will try to remember to bring this up in the Microaggressions session I'm going to next week, although honestly, that felt bigger than micro.
Yeah, I feel like I should have a more finely tuned response than "This is horrible" but I don't. And my brother is in Texas, I can't just go, like, be there with him. Argh.
Oy, Jesse.
I'm so sorry, sarameg.
What a nightmare, -t.
Oh, my god, -t, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
How terrible, -t. I'm so sorry.
Augh. Waiting for a phone call or two about these steroid shots I'm trying to schedule. Phone rang, I ran for the phone (which of course hurts my back), and it was a spammer or a wrong number.
I'm sorry, -t. That does seem like it would be hard to react to.
Can someone check this site and see if there's a pop-up with a discount code? When I checked it the first time, there was, but I closed the window, and now I can't remember the code and it's not popping up again. [link]
