“I Am Not That Kind of White Person. I Am A Good One. So, Can I Touch Your Hair?”
<p>My 25-year-old friend sat across the table from me over some Mexican food and quoted this crazy statement from her white boss. When my friend refused, her work was suddenly not good enough. They wanted to get a replacement because “we don’t think you are going to cut it.” My friend asked, “Why are you saying this now? You were always satisfied with my output for the last several months and even commended me several times. What do you think happened since then?”</p>
<p>They never answered but continued to belittle her efforts and make her life miserable until the contract ended. She second-guessed her work and checked everything because she knew they were ‘witch-hunting’ for reasons to criticize, diminish and maybe terminate her. My friend could not rest because they would call or text her at weird hours during the day and night to set up a scenario where she may not see a message and cannot respond to the work in time, thus a cause to sack her. Was this all because her boss wanted to touch her hair? Yes, it was!</p>
