that's a micro-aggression

Never heard the term "micro-agression" but I like it.

And it does go the other way too. I was at a fast food restaurant and I noticed the black girl behind the counter was really annoyed at having to take my order. Rolling eyes, sighing, not happy having to make change, etc.

As I ate, I watched her handling other customers. She acted perfectly normal taking the order from a black person, but had an instant personality change if a white person was at the front of the line. It was way more than obvious.

I guess this was a case of her dealing with her racism through micro-aggression. I considered pointing it out to the store manager, but she was black too so I just went on with the rest of my day. Never been back to that restaurant.

You’re lucky she was taking orders and not preparing the food in back.
