This reminds me of my favorite “minority” story, told to me by a friend who worked for a restaurant with several locations (the names have been withheld to protect both the guilty and the innocent). At the managers’ meeting, one manager related a new hire:
Manager 1: She’s a wonderful Oriental woman. I think she’ll work out great.
Manager 2 (nudging Manager 1):…you mean, ‘Asian.’
Manager 1: No, I really think she’s Oriental.
