Answering White Mens’ Questions in White Collar Settings.
It’s a joy.
My boyfriend says I have this look I give that’s basically like, “Everyone is a moron and I can’t stand anyone in the universe except my child.” I used to tell him he was just being prejudiced because of my Asian eyes and Vogue like resting bitch face.
But then halfway through today, it dawned on me.
I do think this way most of the time at some point each day I have inhabited life in America.
Perhaps if I didn’t have to be around Western, overpaid, mediocre White men whom I have to answer to in meetings in a tone that doesn’t reveal what an idiot I think they are and how I could do their job hungover or after 40 sleepless days and night more adequately than them on their best day, I would not feel this way.
Good thing my superiors are people of color, right?
Yes so fortunately, I ate some yummy Pho and woke up around 7pm.
Turns out.
It was all a dream.
Who could live like that? What a nightmare right?
Good thing.
