Last night I had a Facebook chat with a friend of mine who was feeling all stabby because a white woman she knows posted a ridiculous and offensive status message about race. This person, who, according to my friend, appropriates from at least five different cultures on a daily basis, is a thorn in my friend’s side, but one she has to put up with to a certain extent for professional reasons. My friend was tempted to respond to this person’s status message, but was hesitant because she didn’t want to create drama in her professional life. She didn’t exactly ask for my advice, but I gave it to her anyway…
