We are a women's only community, so please no male comments.
Edit: thanks all for reporting the hostile remarks! You really are an amazing group of people. Really appreciate how positive so many men have been as well. I see you all and value you ❤️
At least my women coworkers in Ottawa were straight-up and in my face with their racism.
BFH: talking about Chinese people You know that they just don't value life like we do.
Everybody Else: looks at me sitting at the same damned table
BFH: Oh not you Dianne! We all know you're one of the good ones.
I'm better equipped to deal with that kind of naked aggression than I am at the kind that's quiet and sullen when I'm around but that pipes up when I'm out of the room.
I had to move half-way around the planet to get in touch with the half of my heritage that I'd drowned out (to the point of being a total banana) to even understand just how toxic it is to be a "visible minority" (and that term by itself now raises a huge number of red flags for me!) in Canada. So now I push back. Hard.
