Guest Larry Nutter • 16 hours ago I am the only Caucasian in my professional work place (we all have Masters degrees, a requisite to do this job). I am called Beth the Bounty Hunters wife because I am blonde. I am called Queenie Barbie or even, most distressingly, The white chick. We are social workers and go into peoples homes. My coworkers constantly complain about having to go into all white neighborhoods and cited Trayvon Martins demise as concern for their own safety. They also freely comment how nice it is that I do not have the same fears they must face when I go into a neighborhood of color. They never comment that the man I have been seeing for almost three years is bi racial. I will never be anything other than the white chick or the Caucasian worker. Trying to imagine my calling them Jemima or Oprah--I would be fired immediately. That street is never a two way street. Never. At least not where I work.
