NSFW objectification

[Sundae]

Meh, ran into the same thing at work a couple of years ago.

Gave directions to someone looking for S. I gave general directions, but the whole office was a maze. S was the only black woman in the building, so I mentioned it.

What? Was I supposed to say something else? If she'd been a white with bright red hair or unusual glasses I'd have pointed it out.

The stupid thing was that the woman I "shocked" was seriously bigoted. She used unpleasant words and had rather unpleasant opinions (imho). So she crowed about my "slip-up". Yeah, fuck you bitch. I'll wake up tomorrow morning and still be under forty.*

* I never said this to her because it's not big or clever or even relevant. But she hated ageing. And so saying it now is a sly dig; but maybe it's so far behind her back it will circumnavigate the globe and touch both her faces.

Slap! Slap!
Years ago but you deserve it.
Slap! Slap!

Know what you mean.

Now that I'm somewhere where I stand out (sure, there's loads of foreigners from everywhere around the world, but we still stand out), I think that really there's no getting around it. I'm Caucasian-I look different to everyone else (except for the other people of the same extraction) and no amount of words are going to disguise it.
