Out of The Mouths Of Babes Social Workers…

Over at ‘House of Dumb’ it has been noted before that there is one class, race, creed that gets cut no slack at all. So I wasn’t too surprised to see a very revealing little anecdote over at the Social Work Blog from one Anabel Unity Sale:

We all have days when we forget things we have said and done - or at least we want to. There was the time when I walked into a meeting at a local authority - which shall remain nameless to protect the innocent - in order to interview the four heads of social services for a feature. The first thing out of my mouth wasn't "Hello, nice to meet you" but "Oh... four, white middle-aged men." Perhaps it should have been an internal thought...

Perhaps it should, Anabel, perhaps it should! By the way, got to assume that’s a ‘trendy’ first name, rather than a typo…

But just imagine for a moment little Anabel tripping in to a meeting of the Black Police Federation and saying ‘Oh…no white faces?’. I wonder if she’d have admitted to that on a public blog?

Yet, what’s the difference..?
