Hey Chutney I am sorry this situation caught you off guard. The reality is racism is just as precedent today as it ever has been. Many will disagree and call me racist but the fact of the matter is today most people only really recognize racism exist if they are a victim of it or perpetrators tors of it!!! All my happy go lucky friends smiling and saying things are better now dot get the subtle looks or comments made to them. Nor do they walk out a patients room and hear the patient say don't let that black man back in here. So do what you will. See places are more subtle than others but you can't outrun racisim. As far as leaving a job before a year I would not worry about that one bit!!!!! Jay
