During my orientation, a random manager came up to me and a few others and said, "My husband is black." Earlier, I shared that my wife is pale white, and I am brown.

I was with HR and witnessed their shocked. While my brain did go, "Why did she say this?", I transitioned into 'be a homie' and shouted, "Hell yeah mixed babies!"

Which isn't better. Record skip moment. We both smiled uncomfortably. We both left. Nobody has brought it up since.

Did she hear you say you're in a mixed race relationship or was it completely unprompted?

Haha! Yeah I had photo of my wife and kids on my phone screen, which I was showing people!
