Re: What am I doing wrong?
The environment I grew up in would not allow me to be racist or sexist. In school we had black history month and went in depth into everything the black people endured in American history along with Holocaust remembrance month so I always think twice before speaking anything that might be stereotypical. I try to expose myself to as many cultures as I can for fun. I guess humans are innately racist/sexist but as soon as the words come to mind, it’s what we do with those thoughts that matters at work or at home.
My brother is staunchly PC, so he would be my biggest critic if I did say something that might be viewed as stereotypical, anti-religious diversity or racist. I did that with Korean food one time and even if he misunderstood, he still gave me a lecture about it so yeah it didn’t go well.
So when Donald Trump says certain things that might be viewed as racist or sexist when people annoyed him, would that also mean that it is not in his nature to be disrespectful? He might have been joking at the time and it was just when he was talking to some guy in a bus, he wasn’t really at work either so, no wonder women also voted for him.
Na, I’m not going to say anything at work like I haven’t been including going to HR because it’s the whole group not one specific person, I’ll wait it out and hopefully I’ll gain some valuable work experience.
Good for you, your capacity to put up with adversity will determine where you will go in life. The more patient and forgiving you are the higher you will rise. My Jewish friend had this big quote printed on her wall that, “Success is the best Revenge.” People who gave my a hard time when I started my career, I have left them in the dust. Just focus on your end goal and ignore the noise. You dont have to pay attention to every dog that barks.
