We're in the middle of interviewing for a position in our Allen facility, when my colleague came across the resume of a Filipina. It looked like someone who would fit so we proceeded to get her in for an interview. Haven't met her yet, but we've been joking around the office all day.
He's been telling me he's been trying to get rid of Filipinos and just can't do it. I replied there's only 2 Filipinos in this building, we can't get rid of any more. To which a guessing game ensued on who the other Filipino is. He finally figured it out and I added, "Well she's more White than Filipino". In reference to her growing up here and being more in tune with being a twinkie.
My colleague tells me, "So she's what 1/3rd Filipino and you're a 1/4 Filipino?". I really don't know how to react to that.
