I’m glad that EEOC is making a stand for these discriminated employees from Walgreen. Such biased corporate policies are shocking in this day and age, but hard to recognize, as they are more stealthy in nature, compared to outright racial slurs.

Here are a couple of articles that could be of interest to those following this case:

I am so naive, I need to hear again and again that life in the US isn’t what I experience here as a white woman in Silicon Valley.

Yesterday I got a nice email from a lady who (I think) works in Virginia and lives in West Virginia. Among other things, she teaches kids in her church, including some 11th and 12th graders.

I think they don’t understand that there are still Jews in the world, not just in the Old Testament. They don’t seem to get that there are people in the world who aren’t Christians
