The Call

There are some that seem to think that you can distinguish a person's ethnicity by their manner of speech. While there might be some vocal cues; it's obviously not a fair or accurate gauge.


For Example:
It was a typical day at work, returning phone calls of the inquiring minds. A child answers the phone, and I ask to speak with Lady Anonymous. (Obviously not her real name, but 1. I don't remember and 2. It's not relevant.)
The kid doesn't bother to put me on hold or mute the phone because I heard him shout, "Mom, there's a white lady on the phone."
