the infamous "fetching" comment was made by a white woman. i really cannot even go there right now because my legal issue is finally being investigated by the EEOC, and it is ALL about that. yeah...is it any wonder that we are pissed off? 
i tried to put on my best mask, but there is only so much i am willing to deal with, especially considering the shit i have already been through. well meaning white friends always try to say: "that guy/woman is just an asshole," but after you've experienced it for the umpteenth time, you realize it is not about individuals...it is about a system, and a mindset that perpetuates the system. i am always supposed to be grateful in this system/mindset, but never an equal or a colleague, and never too competent as to disturb the perceived superiority of others. and white women are the worst...you are right about that. white men are either openly hostile or supportive. asian men, in my experience at least, seem to feel threatened by black women, and feel the need to put me in my designated place. black men...well i've only worked for one black man, and he is gay, so he was (mostly) supportive. my last supervisor was a white female who i am still friends with today. she totally supported me, as a worker and a person, and she respected me as a person and a competent accountant. and she got fucked over by the white women in charge too...i think she was perceived as a "n" lover. we have to voice this stuff and refuse to "go along" with it. it is a poison that is impeding our growth as individuals, and as a nation.
