"Cultural Differences"

Now I'm not a racist (bahahaha I love that line!  Its what white people say right before they make a racial comment) but there are clearly some things that they can do that we (as in brown people) can't so I'm starting a segment called Cultural Differences that will highlight the humorous ones.  So here we have it:

THE "I'M SICK"

White people can actually call out sick.  No one knows if they are really sick or not and its because NO ONE will challenge them.  I have a co-worker who is "sick" at least 6 times a month and somehow her illness strategically falls on long weekends or right after she's gone out of town.  I wanna be like look just take an extra day off cause we know you aren't sick but the point is, if she says she is-it must be true right?  Wrong.  They also like to confuse sickness with a headache.  I have a headache = I'm leaving early.  Huh?  Your head doesn't know if you are at work or at home so take a aspirin and press.  They will also go to the doctor for EVERYTHING when we will just take some over the counter stuff but that's another post...

Now, if a brown person is sick, we better be showing ALL the symptoms.   We gotta over exxagerate sneezes at our desk, throw powder on our face, fake a horrible voice and basically look like shit before a boss will say "Why are you still here"...ummm cause you ain't tell me I could go home!  (Don't you hate that???) They will listen to you ALL day long and then casually mention that you've sounded horrible all day...really?  Ok.  Then we need to say we have a doctors appointment, have a doctors note and go to the 10th degree of sick excessiveness to get off and then we feel bad.  Like are we gonna get fired cause we took a day off?  You know it will be that one day your basic ass co-worker will use your illness as an excuse to say you haven't responded to their email, finished a project, blah blah blah. 

I know yall have some so comment, share, laugh.
