Yep, I’ve seen it myself. I once had a CIO who was 40-ish blonde woman. Her administrative assistant was a white guy, and people WITHIN THE COMPANY would still direct more technical questions to him, even though she taught him everything he knew.

Right?! When someone has a medical emergency, lay people don’t usually jump up and say, “I’ve been doing a lot of Web MDing lately! Let me have a go!”
My ex-mother in law has a very heavy Japanese accent, after they destroyed her brand new luggage, when she went to talk to someone there about it the rep mocked her accent. Does Delta hire for racism? Also, they didn’t help her at.all, surprise! Yeah, I never fly Delta anymore.
I think that ‘sweetie’ is the part that just cinches the whole thing. It’s such a sugary term of demeaning condescension.
It will get *a little* better as she ages. If you’re young, black and female, folks assume that your highest vocation should be a customer rep for the DMV.
My experience with Delta, as a brown lady. Three years ago, flying from a meeting in Detroit to SF, standing in the premier line. Gate agent repeatedly tries to shoo me out of the line a good 10 minutes before boarding was going to start. Mind you he approached none of the other (white, male) passengers in the…
“oh no sweetie put ur hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don’t have time to talk to you” I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks.
I get the thing about needing to ask for credentials...I do...but Delta didn’t address the whollllllllllllle awful dialogue that preceded the attendant asking for credentials:
“This is going higher than her.”
I’d rather think we could hear spikes in reporting, as victims realize they aren’t alone and that there are people who will have their back.
I read an article that after Brexit, hate crimes spiked 41% in England and Wales. The Miranda Kerr thing makes me wonder if we’ll see a similar bump in sexual assaults due to Trump. If you want a woman, you take her. Just start kissing her. Grab her by the pussy. Get a knife, go over the wall, get what’s yours.
I bet he’s the kind of person who increases the volume of his voice when someone is deaf or when someone doesn’t speak the same language he speaks.
This election isn’t just a dumpster fire, it’s a dumpster fire careening down a hill, causing traffic accidents and slamming right into the side of an orphanage.
THAT WOMAN IS A G D NATIONAL TREASURE BACK OFF DONALD WHAT HAVE YOU EVER DONE SHE WAS IN CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD
I can’t wait for Marlee’s response to this. She is a great actress and a classy dame but when she wants to be vulgar she’s hilarious.
To be fair, we also all wish Michelle was our mom, too.
I think everyone kind of wishes, deep down, that Obama was their dad.
I can’t help but feel somewhere deep in her heart she wishes Obama was her real father.
If anything Tiffany is the “normal” one - trying to distance herself as much as possible from her orange buffoon sperm donor
