Internet Prejudices
This is mainly to vent mostly. I've been on a Frugal loop for over a year. Over 100 emails pass through our loop daily. I can tell most(about 95%) of these women are Caucasian. But they share tips and I share tips and color never came up until yesterday when 1 list member made a comment her daughter was halh Hispanic, but didn't look it. I could have ignored the posting, but not my style, I asked her if she would love her daughter any less if she looked Hispanic?
It's like saying it's alright to be, just don't look the part or tell anyone. We will change your name from Garcia to Gumpy. well since then I've received 3 hate emails about "N". Even the moderator of the list has implied I should leave the list. Have any of you ran into prejudices on the net?
It would be easy to unsubscribe, but to me that's like saying African Americans don't exist.
