Don’t be, unless you plan to never have a job at all. Do I get confused with other black associates sometimes? Yes. Do people assume I’m a secretary or in marketing sometimes? Yep. Do I feel like I’m not in the in-group of some circles because I’m not an overprivileged white dude? Sure. Do I feel like people don’t give me opportunities becaus I’m a woman? Not really but it’s in the back of my mind all the time.Anonymous User wrote:I'm a 2L who is a 5'2" gay woman of color scheduled to go to a V5 this summer.

Frankly, all of the issues people are complaining about are par for the course for minorities in corporate America or medicines or any higher earning field. Really any field. I can think of worse jobs to endure microaggressions in than the one paying me 200k to push papers around and answer emails.
TLDR: racism sucks but what job won’t have any?
