Ethnicity… What The F*** has it got to do with you
\nYou know how in every job or internship application, there is this question that asks you about race? When I searched why it\u2019s always there, I found out that it is to ensure diversity and inclusion in the workplace, which is a great purpose! But it got really confusing when I knew that I had to choose \u201cwhite,\u201d although I am not! The options are usually (Asian, Latin, white, and black). According to the \u201clegit\u201d standard categorization, it turned out that North Africans and Middle Eastern are categorized as white, which I find ridiculous! I\u2019m Egyptian, and I have Egyptian and Arab friends who have skin way darker than mine, and whenever they have to apply for something, they have to choose white, although they\u2019re not! I don\u2019t get why race is associated with a color, and I appreciate it when I find Middle Eastern among the other options, something I don\u2019t see often!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
