#my reading for class is discussing how whiteness is seen as neutral in the US while other races are seen as races
#and i was thinking abt ppl using the yellow vs skin-toned emojis
#(i'd rather use the yellow ones bc imo asserting whiteness as race can come off as white supremacist-y)
#(but i'd love to read discussions of it from POC)
#anyway then i was remembering this bizarre thing that happened when i was working with the bakery
#i was assigned the task of taking inventory on the loaves we'd baked in a day and sending that amount to the number-cruncher
#i've now forgotten her name
#and she always sent me the dark-skinned thumbs-up to indicate that she'd gotten my numbers
#which i was so pleased by bc everyone i'd met at the company was white
#(cincinnati is 40% Black for context)
#i was the only jewish person
#i felt like she and i were secret allies against the overwhelming WASPiness of the company
#i never said anything bc i didn't want to be weird
#but it was a nice parasocial thing so i didn't feel so alone among all the normative whites
#anyway i finally meet her one time when i'm at the main location
#AND SHE WAS WHITE TOO!!
#the /betrayal/
#they finally hired two latina women later on so at least there was that
#we got to share culturally specific stories it was great
#but i'm still haunted by this woman
#why did she use the dark-skinned emoji???
