The issue for me is not that black people or asians or mexicans have been stereotyped. I like a good racist joke like anyone. Its the context in which statements and jokes are told. I have no problem laughing at myself. It is the twinges of truth and the nuggets of racism that I hear in peoples comments or voice intonations. It is the fact that it isn't a "have been sterotyped" its that in 2007 they "are" stereotyped. That pisses me off.

Everyday I wake up in the morning, take my shower, brush my teeth and put on my clothes behind closed doors. I kiss my girlfriend and I go out into the world. All of the moments before this I get to be just Dominick. I work really hard at being just Dominick. Every day someone reminds me that I'm black at least once. I hate it. Not because I mind the color of my skin but because of the sterotypical group that this lumps me in and the predispositions of people that see my skin color first and me second. I work really hard in my industry to single myself out as a hard worker and not as the token black guy. There aren't a lot of us in IT and really? I don't look the part. Proving myself professionally I have no problem with. Proving myself as a human I do. I have to wait all day long to get home so I can just be Dominick again. This entire thread hurts to my fucking core. I can't believe that I come on this site and walk on eggshells because of things and past posters that are "taboo" to discuss, but this fucking bullshit is allowed? People can come here and make a thread 3 pages long of racist comments adn this fucking bullshit stands without a lock or a comment from a moderator? I am appalled. I am now ashamed to lurk here and ashamed to post here. This place started off as a haven of information and acceptance for me. It's been ruined for me.

It f*cks me off that this happened only a few years ago but no one in my office has yet to even mention it. It was such a pivotal event:
I was driving from Fontana to Chino in California dressed in service clothes. It was my long day in Field Service. As always I was listening to Howard Stern. I thought that he was doing some type of bit like a War of the Worlds thing. It made me angry so I turned. Then I realized that it was actually happening. I figured Howard was in New York so he'd know the most and I turned back. I was just dumbstruck.
I met my field service partners and ran from my car yelling for them to turn on the radio. We would normally hit gas stations and the like. I just didn't know what to say. I have only a few major regrets in my life. There was a woman absent mindely pumping her gas. I had my Bible and never did it feel more impotent in my hands. I walked over to her, we made eye contact and she started to cry. What I regret is not hugging her and crying with her. I regret that and I think about it to this day.
When I got back in the car my friends wife says to me, "Guess what Dom? Mike is taking me to breakfast for pancakes!" "WHAT?! Pancakes?! Do you hear what is going on and you are excited about PANCAKES?!" When I think about it, this was the beginning of the end for me as far as JW's are concerned. It struck me that with all of God's "power" and all of my knowledge I couldn't comfort one woman while she cried or silence another woman from droning on about the joys of pancakes...Where were you?
