Latino/Latina Vignette #3

A white woman working for a county mental health agency is in the midst of organizing the registration table for a conference that begins later in the day. A Latino co-worker who is a psychologist asks her how he can help.  She replies, “I don’t really need you here.  Why don’t you go help out in the kitchen.”  He snaps back, “I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that” and walks away.

Question for the reader: Why do you think
the Latino psychologist was upset?
