Well, let's also look at the flip side of the situation. Why is it that BECAUSE you're black, you're automatically expected to intermingle with other black employees? Now I'm not talking about common courtesies, i.e. saying good morning, asking how someone's weekend was, saying good night, etc. I'm talking about people who expect you to go above and beyond to be friendly, based solely on the fact that you're both black. I find that most of the black females in my office have kind of ostracized me, because outside of speaking, I don't really talk to them. When I come to work, I'm here to get a job done, not to find out who's baby daddy was acting a fool last night. I work for a very conservative firm and that requires that I maintain a certain decorum while at work. I know they talk about me behind my back, LOL. I want honest opinions here. Am I dead wrong for feeling this way?
