Next time you want to ask a non white person what his or her race/ethnicity is, ask exactly that. Don't ask where they are 'actually' from. Thanks.

My approach is “what’s your ethnic background?” and usually it comes up in conversation casually and from a curiosity standpoint

As a white foreigner I’m going to ask you where you are from and I expect you to do the same

This is America

So now we’re defining race by where you grew up? Why is this limited to non-white people?

What is your race? Sounds really odd lol

And yeah I’m not gonna straight up ask someone what their race is, are you thick?

How about “what are you?"

You guys are all missing the point (and I’ll guess it’s because you’re all white). The issue isn’t asking where are you from it’s asking “where are you ACTUALLY from.” That’s why OP wrote “‘actually.’” Don’t worry I’m sure you’re all ESL so I’ll cut you some slack on your poor comprehension of the English language.

I’m graduating with an MPH in Epidemiology in spring/summer 2023. I’m an international student and will have an OPT. Work as a GRA, great GPA, 5 years of experience in Oil&Gas compliance and internal controls before. Looking for a job in Austin or remote, preferably with a focus in MCH. I’d like to make the most money I can because I’m a single mom. Should I start with state employment to gain relevant experience, or can I try private companies right away? Any recommendations are welcome!

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Currently have the FRM title.
I failed CFA level 3 once.

I'm hoping to eventually do CAIA, but only after I'm done with CFA. I'm also hoping to do non-financial certifications, like Certified analytics professional (CAP), and learn about web development.

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?
