The other week at the resthome, we were short-staffed, and my one (athletic) (Tibetan) coworker and my one (blunt) (Tibetan) coworker were talking for a while and then were saying that we should go to the head of the resthome and ask for a paybump for that shift.
I demurred, and then they spoke in Tibetan with each other, and then my one (blunt ) (Tibetan) coworker laughed heartily, and then she asked if I was born here, and I said that I was.
"Look at you, you are white and you are born here, and you're afraid to talk to the boss," she was like.
At that, I shrugged, and demurred again some more.
