Me: Oh hey. Chelsea Manning is out of jail finally… annnnnnd immediately got subpoenaed again.
Coworker: Good. she should be.
Me: That was a pretty quick snap judgment.
Coworker: She’s a white woman. Like, the white woman. I’m fine with snap judgment.
Me: You don’t think this case is a little more nuanced than that?
Coworker: Nope.
Me: What about [white woman coworker]? Should she be in jail?
Coworker: All of them
Me: What about me?
Coworker: You are a white girl, so yes
Me: That is a problematic opinion… for several reasons.
Coworker: Don’t care. Put ’em in jail.
Other Coworker: Who are you guys talking about?
Me: Chelsea Manning got out of prison and then got subpoenaed immediately.
Other Coworker: Is that the one who leaked all that government information?
Me: Yeah
Coworker: SHIT
Coworker: NO
Coworker: I LOVE CHELSEA MANNING
Coworker: I thought you were talking about John McCain’s daughter Chelsea.
Me: John McCain’s daughter is named Meghan.
Me: How in fuck’s name did you confuse those two
Coworker: All you white women look the same to me!
Me: 😐
