(54,370 posts)At least our part of Dallas is very diverse, and if you're brown or black skinned or openly gay, no one I know seems in any fear of being what they are. Of course, my head office is full of all of the above with many women as division heads, so I can keep myself in a reasonable bubble for the short visits while I'm there. Even the few rednecks we have act civilly to the rest--smart move, as any harassment will see them turned out on their asses from a an employer that most people would stand in line for. The two guys that run the place spend hundreds of thousands unnecessarily every year on free food, birthday and company parties and other perks just because they like keeping the rank and file happy. We recently opened an office in Hong Kong, and we purposely rotate personnel we send out there for occasional events so that people who ordinarily would never be able to afford a trip there can get to see it.
Despite the awful headline makers, we do have some really forward thinkers in Dallas.
