VC is a Foreign Woman


OH MY GOD I'm on the phone with Columbia finaid, because the hold isn't off the system yet, and the woman I'm talking to (I'm still on the phone with her) just gave me the double whammy:

"Hello, MISS? I need you to speak more slowly. You have an accent."

God this place is go ghetto lol.

I can't stand people who think that you are automatically a woman (or foreign lol) if you don't sound exactly how they expect you sound. Usually it only happens when I'm on the phone with a bank rep or something in middle america with no exposure to the outside world, but if you knew the women working at the CU registrar and financial aid office, then you'd know there not much difference as far as exposure/cosmopolitanism is concerned.
