Oh, hell, no. Sex life inquiries are most inappropriate, no matter what the race of the questioner. I'm sorry, Soror, that you had to go through that.

I agree... most inappropriate. I honestly think that this white, male co-worker, whom I don't know very well at all, wouldn't have asked me that if I wasn't a single, black female. Again, I think it goes back to the whole stereotype of black women. Now I'm getting all into my business, but I was actually thinking about leaving my job last week. A different, white, male co-worker straight up asked me if I would have an affair with him.
Not once, but twice. He's one of the directors here. He's always made semi-inappropriate comments to me, and I was always very uncomfortable around him, but this took the cake. I won't go into all the details, but just know I felt as if I had done something to lead him on, when in reality, I've only been cordial to the man. My father thought I should report it right away, but I didn't because it would be my word against his and who do you think would be believed? And all this was before I was asked the question that sparked this entire thread. So, as you see, I've been dealing with a lot at work lately. I keep telling people I work in the Twilight Zone.
