Fear of retaliation by the employer is the biggest reason why I think employees don't seek help. Also, I think their self -esteem gets so shot by these asshole bosses.

Erin, your roundup of No. 5 is brilliant and cracking me up. Nice touch with the all caps! :-)

HOLY FUCK. I think any decent employment lawyer would take your case pro bono. You deserve so much better and they deserve to get the shit sued out of them and compensate you for distress!

Keanu IS so whitewashed :-)

I agree, she really doesn't even look Armenian anymore. It's sad that she felt the need to do this herself.

Anyone know how much the editors and copy editors at these rags make?

Oh crap I'm sorry. I'm hapa (half-Asian and half-white) myself. And you're right, so is this news anchor in Honolulu.

I cannot ever imagine how awful your online dating experience must have been. Mine was, too, also because of the racial element and stereotyping. I think online dating is shitty for all women — but I do agree the level of shittiness differs for us based on race.

It kills me that Asian men are not thought of as hot in the U.S. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Part of the problem is that there are not enough of us working in television and the film industry. This is ruled by white men.

I'm happy to see HNL on the list. But whoever commented did a disservice by calling it "nastier" than "third-world" airports. That is not true.

That's a good point. But I think it also depends on the personality type of the man we're dealing with.

Hooray! You sound very strong and you're being amazing in how you're dealing with this. I have no doubt that you'll be fine :-)

Like the other posters said, first do something cathartic. Rip up all photos of him and burn them (outdoors!) Throw out everything that he ever bought you. Rid your place of any reminder of him — rearrange the furniture or redo your place if you have to. Maybe I sound silly, but if you can legally break and destroy…

I've never felt ostracized or treated badly at any Nordstrom, ever. Not as a college student who was splurging on good foundation and skincare at their cosmetic counters from the tips I earned while waiting tables. Nor later in my life, as a 30-something and a size 10. Even when dressed down while shopping, I've never…

I've never understood this. It's not always easy to judge someone's financial status based on how they look. Ever see "The Descendants" with George Clooney? There's a line where he said that in Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums — and this is so true. The man walking around the mall or eating in a…

I get these kinds of dreams all the time. Glad to know I am not alone!

That is great to hear. I think it's admirable that you're taking interest in her career development. Oftentimes I find that women can hurt each other in business, when we should be helping each other.

Yeah the unfortunate thing with skincare is that it's trial and error. And when it comes to cleansers that are too many choices.

Bar soap is highly alkaline. It actually could be causing more breakouts. When you have pimples there's a tendency to overwash or use strong/toxic face washes, toners and wipes.
