In the US I have not been tempted to flaunt the fact that I am from a practically welfare background. I mean no joke, I lived in section 8 housing.
In general people don't deduce this from me and sometimes assume I came from privilege, and honestly I definitely prefer it that way.
- giraffe_lady 5y agoI just wish I didn't have to hear the nasty shit people in tech say about my people when they're assuming everyone who does this job has a similar background.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y ago"my people" is a curious phrase in this context, no?
- giraffe_lady 5y agoFelt right to me at the time and I'm not able to come up with a better alternative right now so offer one if you got it. I'm talking about people who are influential but not necessarily close, mostly friendly but I've fought some of these folks too. The people I come from but not my family. My people. Still seems fine honestly.
