African American Vignette #5

Two white women are sitting across from one another in a lunch room cafeteria talking in subdued tones.  Terri is telling Lauren how she feels about Sandra, a new black employee in the retail store where they both work.  "I really like Sandra.  I don't really think of her as black.  She seems almost white."

Questions for the reader: What do you think Terri means when she says that
Sandra "seems almost white?"  How do you think Sandra might feel
if she overheard Terri saying this?
