prejudice
At work today, a supervisor of mine, and also a sometimes manager, made a comment about how he wished all natives could be shipped to Quebec (a place he also has disdain for). I asked him if I had heard him correctly. He acknowledged that I had. I said to him that I wouldn’t like such an arrangement, since my niece was a quarter Native, and her mother one half, and it would be really quite inconvenient for me to visit them. I said it neutrally, with a hint of humour to hide that he had offended me. He sadly did not appologize. Instead he mentioned how much money they took from us. I retorted that our ancestors did in fact try to annihilate the Native people. He responded that they hadn’t done a good enough job.
Now this is a man who claims to be a good Christian, and is very dedicated to his church. He said all of this without the slightest hint of shame or realization that he had offended me. He said it with absolute pride and confidence in his beliefs.
Without any hostility (as he is my boss) I said to him that I come from a family where I have gay uncles, and black cousins as well, hinting that he should maybe watch what he says around me. His response was that I was very unlucky. I told him maybe he shouldn’t say these things at work.
How are people this disgustingly narrow-minded?

Who knew? Apparently I’ve reached the ripe old age of 26 and this is when I should begin to panic that I am not married. Sure, it’s true I wish I were attached, but I’m not even sure how I feel about marriage, and I’m certainly not panicked about it…..or am I?? Lol.
