OT - Prime Example on Being Careful About what you say

I know this has nothing to do with excersise but I'm so annoyed! I just got out of a meeting with three of my co-workers. On one of my projects we will be doing real estate acquisitions. Apparently my co-worker has a friend who does this for a living. Here is what he said:

"I have a friend who does that. She's really sharp and great at what she does. She's had a lot of success being bi-lingual. Which is great for the area that we will be working. But she doesn't speak EBONICS"

Now considering that I'm Black this was a real slap in the face. I've never had an issue with this person but to say that in front of me makes me wonder what do you say at home ?

Honestly I really don't care what you say at home but this is a prime exampel of being careful about what you say and who you say it in front of. Reminds me of a recent thread about "Dots or Feathers".

To him it was just a joke because obviously he's not talking about me, right ? I'm mean I'm so "articulate" and "well spoken" as they say.

I had to get up and leave that meeting before I said something I would regret. Another day in Corporate America.
