Though - as a young woman of color - working in a an all white male mid 40s and beyond snow making company in the mid 1990's . . . I DID have to flex to my New Older White Male Environment.

I think being cognizant of the environment of the dominant culture is more important for a minority who is a 'first' in that business/organization. After all - you are breaking a barrier.

How are the two choices antithetic? Mass Jul 2013 #1

You "acknowledge their background" to them, in person? Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #14
you're even worse at discussing racial and ethnic heritage than you are at being a liberal CreekDog Jul 2013 #15
When did I claim to be a "liberal"? Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #18

In the words of President Obama, Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #21
yes, but did you go farther in your compliments than Obama (who was acting as head of state btw) CreekDog Jul 2013 #22
I never realized you would still be steaming over this 4 months later. Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #23
Steaming? Hardly. You seem bothered by your own words of recent months. CreekDog Jul 2013 #26

You can claim martyrdom here if you admit that it's for the cause of conservatism CreekDog Jul 2013 #20
You're being dishonest. You lamented that people aren't called "crippled" anymore. CreekDog Jul 2013 #35
Well you were pretty enthusiastic about the phrase "illegal immigrant" before it became un-PC. Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #36
I am not "enthusiastic" about that term CreekDog Jul 2013 #40
So when you used the term "illegal immigrant children" in your post in 2010, Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #42
you said I was "enthusiastic" about the term, and that is wrong CreekDog Jul 2013 #43

None of that would bother me in the least. HappyMe Jul 2013 #37
Anyone who claims to be colorblind, but objects when his or her daughter dates a black guy, Nye Bevan Jul 2013 #38
The point being that people who go out of their way to proclaim being colorblind... MrScorpio Jul 2013 #41
