Would you say that your personal experience is generalizable to many/most people of color?
If, say, someone from another company who's visited your offices for a day later refers to you as "that negro in product development," would it be typical that other people of color would take no offense at that use of language?
I'm curious about it. I don't have that lived-in experience, so all I can do to understand is ask and listen.
- joenathan 12y agoI have customers from Latin America and negro in Spanish simply means black. Why would I ruin my day and relationship with someone by taking offense to a word when there was no malice intended?
- Frondo 12y agoThat may be, but I would appreciate if you could also lend me your insight into the questions I had asked.
