That’s an amazing story you shared and great to see some one do something and complain right away. I don’t think that happens very much at all and she was lucky to encounter the right person to approach.
I’m beginning to think and a lot of research thank;s to current videos and analysis that the majority of Americans without a college degree still encounter the N-word on the job, especially in poor rural areas in the South. The professional class like me or you have seen the type of more subtle racism—though to the female lawyer it wasn’t subtle at all, but plain, brutal white racism. But white people still control the narrative and pander to Black Americans on the white half of the spectrum, and many that are not us couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a highly competent Black-presenting female. Of course, she was half Indian as well, where most Hindu men and Muslim men are not exactly anywhere near pro-feminist and more like pro-female suppression.
This remains vital and important. It will probably get more so in the coming months once the pandering is done. That’s when your voice will become even more important. I don’t think that are a lot of people willing to take a stand like you did. That, more than the lack of results that followed, probably meant more to her than anything. Thanks again for showing how to take the right reaction.
