I thought I was doing pretty good at being less white and there I was peeling the brown skin off my russet potatoes.

I thought I would paint my face black but then someone said that's not allowed either.

Dang, this is hard!

I had a Mexican at work call me a Nazi. I asked him why and he said it's because I'm white. I'm mixed race. I went to HR and reported the slur to the black HR guy. I was laid off an hour later. True story.

lol. Too funny. You can call me anything you want and I'll never go to HR.

Learned my lesson. One foreman was calling me Wedo which to me is a slight slur. I do have a name so use it. I told him this and he blew it off by saying it was Spanish for White Boy. I asked him if it was ok if I called him "Brown Boy". He didn't like that. The guy who was sabotaging me for a couple months, when I finally got called back to work I met up with him and asked him, "Are we gonna have more problems or not?". Apparently he'd matured a bit, apologized and said, "No, we're cool now" and true to his word he left me alone, was friendly and congenial from there on out.

Good end to the story.
