I am but only because I’m giving notice tomorrow and I need my work to be organized before I do for my own satisfaction. I sometimes make exceptions for work on Labor Day, but I will NOT work on MLK day, Juneteenth or any other future holidays acknowledging the plight of Black people.

Put in some time this morning and then have a call later today.

Just finishing up my work for today. No vacations for me!

I am! But only because I live in a destination area and it's a shit show out there, so I'd rather spend time in a quiet office with no distractions and take my days off when all the people are gone. Haha, I'm such an introvert.

They tried that wow

🤚🏽🤦🏽‍♂️

I am. Still here in the office doing some stuff before the deadline. But I am off in an hour.

How do you respond to someone whose response to the recent rise in anti AAPI hate/rhetoric is “I don’t know anyone who dislikes Asians”, “everyone is racist”, “racism isn’t evil, it’s ignorance and biology” in a way that’s neutral and educational?

I’m at the point where I don’t really care to engage but also don’t want to remain silent.

Are Indian-Americans persons of color? I’m open to honest criticism if they’re not. I feel bad “hogging” any chance for other diverse attorneys to get in the door and find success in the legal profession (especially African-American attorneys) but at the same time so much closet bias against Indian-American attorneys exists in law firms across America. Getting business is often hard because we don’t “look the part” as a white colleague once told me.
