My employer sponsored a table at a regional human resources diversity celebration last night, and thanks to my Asian-ness, I was invited along. As expected, I got to hang out with the HR folks at our table, representing as the only non-white individual!Some people might be offended by invitations based on ethnicity, or having to be the token minority, but I usually enjoy a free meal. Even if it's the typical hotel banquet fare of a wilted salad, rubbery breast of chicken and dry pastry. But I wish I'd known that last night's event would not include any wine! There was a cash bar upon arrival, but once we were all ushered into the main ballroom, it was H2O all the way.
Good thing the event was a 10-minute walk from my home.
