Keepin' the Brown down in Portland
Today, during a staff meeting, we learned that there will be a fim crew in our office next week to do a DVD of our firm. My boss specifcially pointed out that one person, if not two, in particular will have their face on the video because, get this: their White enough. Yup! You got it! Good ol' Whitey is getting first dibs on a video. This is largely thanks to a former employee, whom many of the staff who have been here a long time know and dislike her. It was apparently all her idea to do this filming with this person because our firm is "full of minorities in the SF office." Okay, you know what? We're in Portland, Oregon. Sure, we may not be as diverse and colorful as SF is, but the fact remains that there are still many, many different people here. The owner, founder and CEO of this firm is Black for God's sakes! And she wants a, as my boss put it, "a pastey white person in plaid" for this video. No wonder she doesn't work here! If she did I'd drop kick her ass into the dirt... that'll turn her to a nice baby-shit brown color!
