Girl I woulda went home made my own name tag and showed up as Maritza 😭 smh
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!
Yaaasss
Paloma Hernandez THATS WHAT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA DO!!!! Lol 😭
SAME THO
Paloma Hernandez right😭
Whenever people make racially offensive jokes to me I play dumber than Ernest and tell them I don’t get it. Then I ask them to explain. They usually try to brush it off but I never let it go. You gonna have to explain your racism to my face :)
Faaaxxx
Wolfette Smurf girl I’m mixed I am half Hispanic and white and my skin tone is more white. I have a little tan on me don’t get me wrong but people think I be lying about being Hispanic and whenever I tell people about my heritage, they wanna make jokes...
@@avareezimmerman5978 it's ok you don't have to explain yourself like a wise man once said don't dumb yourself down for others like @Amjad El Kharraz and speaking of when people don't don't like racial jokes just don't make them you can have fun without them boo boo
@Amjad El Kharraz look when people don't like racial jokes just don't make them around people that don't like those jokes it's as simple as that you can still joke around without racial jokes.
Amjad El Kharraz if racism brings you joy, yes, I will kill that joy every time
I hate when people say to any and all Mexicans “y’all are so hood at cleaning and deep cleaning” or “ are you having 5 to 6 kids” like wait what?!?!?!
I didn't know this was a thing wtf🙄 I'm a white girl with one kid and everyone's like "yOu DoNt WaNt MoRe" like yeah I want one more. I couldn't imagine ever getting up in people's business like that. It's no one's business but your own.
You should reply "yeah but unlike you all my kids aren't my father's" petty, i know, but you gotta shut that ignorance down immediately and let them know you aint the one or the two
...What in the ignant-?
It took me way too long to realize you meant good, not hood lol
No joke I went to a friends house and I had there grandparents ask me if I was legal. Like the fuck did you just asked me.
I grew up in constant situations where I was one of the “only ones” so at my big age, I have no tolerance for it. Like you said, it’s unprofessional and unnecessary. I definitely would’ve been bothered by the comments because it’s not my responsibility to shoulder their ignorance. Done with that phase of my life.
Ashleighrenee42 I love this! How do you approach it? I’ve been discriminated in several work places, especially in a work place but I don’t know to talk to them about it
Shandale Santana that’s the thing, unfortunately. Not everyone works for a company that is open to you talking about it and not every employer actually wants to do something about it. So if you aren’t being treated with respect and you don’t feel comfortable going to HR, you gotta be willing to take your talents elsewhere 😕
I’m sorry you’re going through this!
These women were wrong period, they might've thought it was funny but honey none of it was funny
You are never too old to change careers. It's crazy to make an 18 year old child think they need to know what they want to do for the rest of their lives. That's just crazy!!!
My mom went back to college and got her masters in her 50s. She is a therapist and LOVES what she does. She's the happiest she's ever been, career wise. Don't be afraid to make a change if it's in your heart.
I haven't gotten to college yet cause I wanted a break from school and to also work for a bit to be out in the world and work and see how the world works as I am currently doing rn, but I do still wanna pursue a career is being an author and possibly an editor
I'm 40 so seeing that your mom did that at 50 is very inspirational. Thank you for sharing! And tell your mom she's a bad ass 😊
Nikki: I LOOK CRUSTY!
Me: Welp... it's official... crusty has a new definition.
C - ute ........ R - adiant ........ U - nmatched ....... S - tunning ..... T - alented .... Y - aaaaaaaaaassss
Love you Nikki! You always lookin' fire and don't you forget it! Mom of 3 WHO????
three
MsSomethingAwesome this is awesome!! I agree with you 100% she’s SO gorgeous
MsSomethingAwesome she is actually a mom of three two boys and a daughter 💙💙💖
Facts though
Seriously id take Nikki's version crusty anyday
‘you guys are always so good at deep cleaning’ that is such a racially motivated comment and I can't even believe someone would say that at all, let alone in the work place.
This woman once approached my friend's dad in the middle of a store and asked him if he mowed lawns
Lisa Rafael how is that a compliment? That is a complete racial stereotype, there is no complement behind that at all unless you’re dealing with a professional cleaner.
Just because you think it’s a compliment doesn’t make it a compliment, us Mexicans find it quite offensive when derogatory comments are made like that.
Just like you wouldn’t ask an African American woman to touch her natural hair, there are many things you can compliment before a stereotype
Lisa Rafael i think if it’s not your race or ethnicity then you have no right to comment on the situation and by some miracle you turn around and say you are Mexican then it’s clear you’ve never been stereotyped because I can assure you this wouldn’t be your reaction at all
@@lisaw8928 If you don't understand, you're a part of the problem.
@@lisaw8928 What makes you think you think it was okay for the lady to assume Nikki is great at cleaning because of her race?
THE MUGSHOT PHOTO LMAOOO! Total “I hate it here” vibes! I’m so glad that you quit immediately and I also hope the other latina woman was given justice.
She wants to sell tamales? “It’s not even near christmas” 😂
What is wrong with people
Tia I that part of it’s not even near Christmas part was funny. It hurt me. Tamales are year long food lol
Gladys Mendez Normally tamales are sold near Christmas the most ...lol
Komi Yama i know that. In my household we ate tamales whenever we want so we don’t need it to be Christmas
@@komiyama4344 the people that dont make them or think they're hard to make think it's a seasonal food lol
Tamales are not no seasonal food tamales are a year round food🤨
I'm so happy you told that man the truth. Many people would try to keep that position and they would do what the manager said. It's important, because they would get away with it and not get consequences for the racism
NGL this whole storytime would fit as an episode in “The Office” i can see Michael hiring someone Mexican after Oscar quits and Kevin coming in talking about the tamales and Angela talking about the multiple children. Overall that situation is outrageous
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭💀 oh my god yesssss!!!! Michael would be fired in real life 😂 but I’d laugh and love him if he was my boss he’d be the idiot racist ignorant funny person loool
Vuitton 😂😂😂
I've never read anything so accurate. I don't know how I'd manage to keep my cool if I were in any of those situations.
LET’S SAY IT TOGETHER: MICROAGRESSIONS! Nikki stop being so apologetic- you felt some sort of way because YES they did you wrong. If any of you think RACISM/DISCRIMINATION/PREJUDICE is a thing of the PAST? Honey you are WRONG. I’m glad you left Nikki- you doing bigger and better 😤👋🏼
This reminds me of whenever I’m in class and we have a lesson about Hispanic culture or slavery times and everyone looks at me.
same! except i’m black, it’s so annoying
Wtf.
I’m Native American, that’s how I felt when we talked about when the settlers came, or the trail of tears.
“ oh I look crusty”
That’s a whole ass mood. I look crusty everyday.
That one Army omg ARMYs watch Nikki glamour. INTELLECTUALS ONLY
Don't concept photos drop in a few days????
It'sNataliaRenee omg yes but like i ain’t ready😂😂😂
It'sNataliaRenee
Yes
Yes, those statements would have triggered me real quick. Like when I'm staying at a very nice hotel and people think I'm housekeeping, or when they think my husband is valet. Smh
I wouldn't have even went along with them with the costume situation. I would have just "played dumb," "lost the name tag," and went as the person that I wanted to.
After 3 red flags I already don't like them
Bro I was mad this entire video 😡😡. Like Nikki, don’t ever be afraid to call out racist behavior when you see it happening to you or anyone else. Lots of people want us to think that it’s crazy to pull the “race card” or to not want to be the Crazy Latina or the Angry Black Girl in order to keep us quiet but NAW. You are powerful. You are strong. And you deserve absolute RESPECT no matter what. We are here to support you 100%. Love you 💖
“First of all I don’t know what a tamale is I know what a TAMALE is”
Girl 👏🏽 I felt that one in my Mexican bones 👏🏽
dont you hate it when people think that since you speak spanish you’re automatically mexican... MEXICAN ISNT THE ONLY SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRY ‼️. i am DOMINICAN 🇩🇴
I guess they didn't pay enough attention in school to know that. I am Mexican though. 😂
dominicanaa representttt
People literally ask me if I speak Mexican and im like do you speak American. Also so True I'm not Mexican people always when they think of spanish they think of Mexico not the other countries
I think the number one take away from this video is that those types of comments are very rarely made in mistake or are innocent. Always just confront them from jump.
This is exactly why I want to go into HR. Employees are underrepresented and managers and fellow coworkers get away with treating others poorly. It's hard to believe that situations like this happen everyday because I could never treat someone like that.
When we gonna get another pretty faces cold cases
Deadassssss
Yas! Also an Ask Nikki. But also super excited and understanding about this phase of her life.
FRRR
Yesss i been wanting one so baddd I just was thinking about this
Emily SanVicente yesss
It’s funny because I was just on your Instagram story about the edible cookie dough
I saw a comment asking when ur going to do “pretty faces cold cases” I second that! ✨
i live in a predominantly white town and I just got hired and I went to the interview and it went decent and I got called 2 hours later to get offered the job and I'm just going through the hiring process but I jokingly mentioned to my bf "what if they just hired me because I'm Mexican?" and I hope they didn't because I have good credentials but also...WHAT IF?
Oh my god!! This story makes my blood boil. I’ve had similar experiences with a coworker , I wouldn’t have said anything if I was in your position but when it happened to me I clapped back however , I was at my job for 5 years at that point and it was a new coworker making racial remarks. It’s infuriating . 😡 You would have made a perfect Maritza 😊
What's ur ig
This storytime was definitely INTENSE with a crazy plot twist, wow
I can’t stand PEOPLE!!
I’ve had a man at the meat market of my grocery store talk to me in broken Spanish (cause he was white) even though I was talking to him in English.
I’ve had a man (again white) say hi to me and before I could answer he asked “wait do you know English?”
I was taking my TSI which is a test I had to take to take college courses while in high school and my counselor asked for my social security number and AGAIN BEFORE I COULD ANSWER she whispers “Do you have one?”
People are really something else dude smh
This happened to me also. I got hit while crossing the street (ON MY LIGHT) and the guy that hit me was white. I called my mom and i told her in spanish that a car hit me & she was like ok let me call your dad to come get me, we’ll be there asap. I then called my professor (i was walking to school) and left a voicemail of what happened in English. The guy was like “oh so you do speak english.” I was like dude wtf.
I was about to start making albondigas for dinner , looks like my husband gotta wait 😂
Albondigas sounds so good right now 😍😋
Bc ppl like to make it sound like they’re so dedicated to watching that they would drop anything they are doing or were about to do 🙄
Latina prideee ❤❤ that halfshow got me soo hypeeee love it
Ooookkayy Aquarius gang‼️ the best sign period ♒️
Best of the air signs...
I was always the only or one of the few black people at school. This takes me back 🙄
Girl I felt this so hard. I went to CU Boulder for my freshman year and I faced so many acts of discrimination. I wasnt use to that because I'm from Los Angeles were Latinos thrive. I left Colorado heartbroken
Holiday Branch I’m Hispanic from Colorado and girl let me tell boulder is full of the most privileged white people who think they are too good for everyone else. Boulder is honestly one of the most discriminated city you could go to
Edit: I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience
@@MariaRodriguez-pj3rv girl tell me about it but yet the university begged for minorities which is the reason why they accepted me in a heart beat
Delicate Starlight Peach that’s sad. I’m sorry.
I've been watching nicki for a long time and her energy is just so nice and warm and comforting like oh gurl is my sister
I love when storytimes are about 40 mins 😍
NIKKI I've been needing a new video from you and I gasped when I saw a notification from you!! Love you girl!!! ❤️
Over here doing homework, I needed a break anyway 😂
when i was buying hot cheetos earlier i KNEW i needed them this weekenddddd
nikki: people in hr (human resources).
my brain: toby from the office 😭.
Girl... I literally just started eating my hot Cheetos and then u decide to post.. great timing😂😂
Lmao, I was getting ready to eat my noodles.
That one Army YASS👏🏻
Literally was scrolling through your old videos to watch wishing a new Nikki video would drop when lo and behold...one did! Never clicked so fast!
I LOVE this hairstyle on you. And your SKIN is GLOWING ✨✨✨✨ Happy early birthday 💖💖💖🖤 sending you lots of love ❤️
I’m so glad you spoke up when talking to that guy. A lot of people would have just stayed quiet and said the work environment was fine - and that poor other girl wouldn’t have had anyone on her side to call these people on their shit. I hope she’s doing well out there 💕
I love your videos and even though I’m still young, I can’t wait for when I’m older to look at these videos and get helpful advice. Much luv!😘
3 minutes in and there already 105 comments , I rushed over trying to be in the top !
Your experience touched me deeply because me too, I have been in these situations. I'm Polish and I live in Paris . At the beginning, when I started working in my first two jobs : the first at the leather shoe shop and after in the luxe fashion industry gallery, I had a lot of comments referring to my origins. They were not only coming from "white French" but also from Asian girls working with me. I guess the possible reason might have been my nice portfolio of languages and at that time, I already had my masters degree and while working for fashion industry I entered my PhD. All of these things might have created jealousy from my asian colleagues, who weren't very good in French. The funniest thing was that they were the ones who were supposed to train me for 2 weekends (I only worked on weekends because I had my school during the week) . They were telling me one thing, concerning the storage of clothes, our needs of restocking t-shirts and all that jazz, and when I was doing what I've been told, they completely switched the initial request by telling me that I DO IT WRONG BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME, BECAUSE FRENCH IS NOT MY FIRST LINGUAGE... Like, beech what!??
Also, little pointy comments and other stuff coming along with it. I have to admit, most of the time, the way in which I was treated by my co-workers and by two of my managers in the fashion gallery, made me feel like a sh.. I ended up quiting after 4 months.
Since than, few years had passed and I'm older, wiser and have had many new corpo world experiences and from the perspective of the time I just feel pity for them
There are some milieu where the concentration of rude and insecure about themselves people is just above the normal.
You have had so many experiences. Such an interesting life! I wish you the best with everything! Love all your videos and you!! such great energy!! Can't wait for the next upload ❤️
Unfortunately, too relatable. You handled the situation so professionally. I really admire you for that💕
I really wish I was one of your home girls cause your an amazing beautiful friend
Your my queen you liking this means the world to me
Nearly 3 o'clock in the morning?
Glamour time is all the time!
Chlöe where do you live?
@@oliviajaneperforms Vancouver. Its 1:11 rn
The UK
Even when you be looking crusty you still slay 😂
Thanks for the heart girl ❤️
I was a diversity hire as well at a funeral home. I applied for a position that was in the marketing and sales department. I noticed right away at my interview, I was the only mexicana there. I had noticed that the person giving me the interview was really hyping up my position and pretty much gave me the job on the spot. When I went for my first day, I realIzed quickly that my position had a pretty name but it was the job no one else wanted to do. I ended up quitting right away because I felt like I was lied to about what my duties would entail. I knew I was basically hired because they needed a minority and someone to do the dirty work. I was so disappointed that I wasn’t hired for my credentials. I wish people who aren’t minorities could just walk in the shoes of a minority just for one day.
With that being said, you gave no idea what it’s like to not be able to get a job because of a diversity hire. You haven’t been in that position
Michael Merritt thank you for taking time out of your day to comment on my comment for Nikki. You have truly made me feel so special. *HUGS* Have a blessed day Mike.
That Really Breaks My Heart Nikki , This Storytime Hit A Spot For Me Because My Dad Was Discriminate At His Old Job of 18 years And Had To Put Up With It 💔
Perfect way to end a rough week at school is by watching Nikki! Love you Queen! 😘💖
Omg the queen is back 😍😍 imma about to grab my snacks and my wine 🍷 beautiful and glowing as always 🤯
Ayeee Aquarius Gang here!!! Mine was the 10th!! Your videos make my day 10x better!! I think I’ve got my fiancé hooked on watching your videos!! He always asking if I watched your videos without him!
Gurl, I got homework that is stressing me the hell out and this is the perfect thing to watch in my break time 😊❤
Honey
Honestly, I take breaks when doing homework. Don’t feel bad doing that.
Its so important to talk about this topics! Im so glad u spoke about it!! Only thing i may correct you, is that transgender isn’t a sexual orientation, it’s a gender identity and a medical condition.
queen uploaded 🥰🥰perfect for this snow day in Denver 🤣🤣💛
Hey Nikki! First off, I love you so much! I have been watching your videos for a while now and I identify with you immensely. My mom was a single mom and we moved around a lot, I have a stepfather, I am a 25 year old African American female...and ALSO like you, I have worked many administrative positions over the years. I clicked on this video because when I read the title, I was like “Oh, one more thing Nikki and I have in common.”
Long story short, I have been racially discriminated against in a position as well within an office setting and was SHOCKED by it. I’m glad that there was an actual investigation though and hopefully that company is no longer in business or is under new management. When things like this happen, we tend to be numb to it because it happens SO MUCH that we don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing until someone else points it out for us and we let it sink in all at once. I am glad that you quit and now make AMAZING UA-cam videos like this one for your glamazons. 🙌🏽💪🏽💯 I appreciate you Nikki! Also also....can you do a meet and greet sometime soon? I live in Maryland but I am planning on taking a trip soon. I swear I won’t stare at you awkwardly or confuse you with Nikki Tutorials loll Much love,
Your Glamazon Kelsey
Those were some very discriminatory statements and a hostile work environment for sure. This is classic case stuff that I would have read back in law school. You deserve much better than being anyone's diversity hire. You are amazing! love ya!
OH MY GOD ITS BEEN FOREVER. I’m sooo happy for this video. YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 thank you for all you do ❤️
She uploaded last week
Mariah Jones
Right but I don’t remember asking. I said it’s been forever because I love her videos so much.
Jayla Beauchamp don’t got to be rude but ok
Mariah Jones
I wasn’t being rude I was just simply explaining that I don’t remember asking. I’m not here to start things. All I want to do is watch Nikki’s videos and enjoy them. So if you don’t want me to say something to you, then don’t reply to my comment.
Jayla Beauchamp ok sorry you get heated quickly
I'm so used to Nikki basing her storytimes off of whether she was dating David or not...I had to rewind and make sure I heard right and was watching the right Nikki 😂
I’ve been watching you for about 5 years now and watched every single video every time you post, but this one, girl you helped me open my eyes as to what’s going on in my work too and I don’t think I’ve felt so discriminated against in my whole life.. going to do something about it tomorrow. Thank you Nikki ❤️
I’m glad you stuck up for yourself!!! Coming from someone who has personally been a diversity hire before I’m PROUD of you girl 🙌🏽💜💜
Peyton Elizabeth girl you pretty af!!!! Just saying!
Brenda Cordova oh my gosh thank you! 😩 you just made my night lol
Peyton Elizabeth you’re welcome!! ❤️
Yes girl I needed this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The 8th or 9th girl either way happy birthday thank you for being her to spill the tea
The perfect way to start my weekend ❤️❤️
"Grab your wine, grab your snacks girl cuz its storytime!!!" Ouuu i missed that soo much but it doesnt matter girl, cuz i know its all worth it just to see you beautiful baby girl, Mila.💛💛
So I grew up in north eastern Alberta Canada. I’m also a First Nations woman. Our largest work force/industry, especially when I was 18-20was the oilfield. So now the thing about my situation is I knew I was a “diversity hire”, so to speak. The policy is because where these job sites are, they are also on traditional native lands, lands that were ceded by the government for use originally for weapons testing with the Air Force but then they also discovered liquid gold and so drilling began. But yes because I’m from one of the reserves these lands originally belonged to, they do hiring specifically for First Nations people, which was good for me, I was a hard worker and even though this job was only supposed to be a summer job I ended up keeping it for about 2.5 years. Aaaaanyways, now the issue with the oilfield being near and around rural towns, things get pretty weird, pretty racial, pretty fast. And I was no stranger to it.
For these positions they set aside for indigenous people, they’re often administrative jobs or jobs where you have to deal with other people or companies or whatever, because just like this company you worked for, for the oilfield companies it was like “seeeee we’re hiring natives! We’re not racist or anything like that because look at all these native contractors we hired” (I should also say I was definitely a contract worker, so I wasn’t even really working for the actual main company, but also.... I was. Anyways). So I was put as administrator in a warehouse which also meant i was the first face they seen. I feel like I also need to point out, many people don’t think I’m First Nations from looking at me, I’ve got dark hair, dark eyes, tall, native woman shape (lol) but I’ve got pale skin lol so I got certain, id say correct treatment, OR because I was a woman, I got looked over entirely And my male coworkers often got asked questions, questions that I could easily answer but hey.... I’m just a woman, what could I possibly know.
And then once people found out I was native it was almost immediately assumed I had kids..... I started the job at 19 so no... although I get that’s what you often see from other native women, that ain’t me. Also, once when someone asked me where I was from, I said the reserve, they literally said to me “aaahhhhhh that’s why they hired you”.......... ummmmmm sure man. Not because I can do my job or anything though right?!
But I will say that those people I worked with, I was lucky to have that bunch because I had been the youngest person in the whole warehouse, so they became very supportive and protective of me which I didn’t even realize was something I needed back then because some men who would come in, literally were angered at the idea of a woman asking them questions (necessary questions of course) and some had even tried to get me fired. So that was fun.......
But I will say one of my biggest regrets was not standing up for myself as much as I should have. Being a native woman I had this idea I should just be happy I have a job and so every time they denied me a promotion that I truly believed I deserved, my eventual response was to quit. And that sucked because I loved that job tbh......
A little story, as a black teenager, Its been a few situations where I was the token black girl. Friendships mostly. I was naive and very unobservant but it took me a while to realize these people only keep me around so they can be racist and use me to justify that they aren't racist...which makes no sense. I was "I have a friend that's black" for so many white people. I'm so observant when picking friends now, especially since I do surround myself with diverse people like white, asian, Indian, etc. I love having a variety of friends
When your name is really Maritza and Nikki says your name 😭😝
If I were in your shoes, I would have quit as well, and sued them too. That shit does not fly with me, and it shouldn't with any type of job.
Hey im not that far into the vid abt 10 mins in but I really appreciate if you do make videos about the corporate world you were one of my inspirations to go into business administration
I would've agreed to wear the jumpsuit and tell them I would be Dayanara, then I would show up as Maritza and said "omg I totally forgot, you told me in the last minute"
Please do a video on interviewing!! I think a lot of young women who watch you can benefit from that especially coming from someone so relatable and confident like yourself 😍😍
Yessss girl ! I just binge watched a bunch of your storytimes and you finally posted ! 🤪💕
Nikkiii!!! Gurl i missed you and it's only been a week. This story time really made my day and it was educative at the same time. Keep doing you girl 👏🏾👏🏾
Love you. I started watching you like a week ago and your all over my recommended list and I can’t stop watching you and love you so much.
For anyone wondering I think that was an E-receptionist place which was offering Virtual offices and meeting rooms. Is basically for anyone who are a one man band, people working online from home or people who work freelance where they go to the customer (makeup artist, hairdresser, plumber, electrician, etc).
These places are REALLY common in the UK. Usually though they are VERY professional places...
U did them well! They deserved it.
Don’t hate me... but I do think that you did resemble Dayanara a tiny bit.... (I think the annoyed face helped lol). But they really missed their Maritza so annoying.!!!
Keep these story times coming!!! Xoxo
Nikki is saying she looks dead without makeup, but she's gorgeous regardless😍
I think I would've reacted exactly as you did with one difference:
As he left that day, I would've shook his and and said, "Thank you so much for enlightening the situation here for me. I'm so happy to have gotten the opportunity to speak with you today."
Leave them hangin honey. 😘
☺️ we have super close birthdays (February 4th) and so does Ezra and my daughter Allison (August 20th 2018) 💕 missed you girl congratulations on baby Mila. Such a beautiful family ❤️
I’m here! Finally get to see your video right away. Dinner is done ✅ and I already have wine 🍷 I’m winning tonight.
Nikki! I follow you since I was 18.. that was 4-5 years ago!!! But I’ve never known which is your ethnical background.. I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 btw love you !
I saw the title and then I was like girl. It's about to be some good tea and this video.
really really thankful that you made this video- I've experienced these kinds of remarks in my educational environment and they make me mad every time, and I really don't know how to respond. It's like those small remarks that seem like they could be meaningless but the anger and frustration really does build up.
So at my old job there was a pregnant girl who happened to be Mexican. This white girl asked her how many other kids she had, she said 2. The white girl said “Oh okay, I know you guys usually have multiple kids, so I was just curious.” My friend reported her to HR & she got written up. The pregnant girl handled it VERY well, she was still super polite. I probably would’ve lost my job that day. Lol
Ah yay I’ve been binge watching your videos lately! So I’m so excited for this video
Yasss, a whole video or playlist on job-related advice would be wonderful!
Microaggression at its finest. I've heard it practiced so much in the workforce. It annoys me when you call them out on it, and they have the nerve to feel offended. Some colleges accept minorities for the sole purpose of trying to prove that they are diverse, knowing darn well the majority of the student body and faculty do not favor minorities. The fact that this behavior still happens today is disheartening.
The best orange is the new black character is niki
Wooow, this is a topic that not a lot of people speak on because not only is it diversity hires but also diversity enrolls in schools too which makes you very sceptical about sending your kids to school because they get pulled out of class often to show parents that are trying to enroll their kids that's "oh we have a non racial description policy also" but really they are mad grimy like that😒
Aside from that I love your videos so much and I've been subscribed since the "hair growth tips" you are one of my favorite UA-camrs that I aspire to be one day♥️
I would've swung at the girl who said "tamales" when you were talking about your friends business.
omg I’m so sorry you had to go through that Nikki! I love you so much. I 100% understand how you feel and I would’ve reacted the same way.
It’s crazy how much the Hispanics and Asians have so much in common. You have no idea how many time people tell me to bring eggrolls to potluck or don’t believe me when I tell them I was born and raised in California. The stereotypes are hurtful and ridiculous! Yet we still try to give them the benefit of the doubt and they continue to pull that trigger. This is why I get along with Latino girls so much because we understand each other’s struggle.
Much needed talk, crazy that people are really comfortable talking to others that way
I really admire ur determination. I'm 20 ans have nothing much going for me. My parents take care of me and I work with the kids we foster. Things are easy for me and I developed laziness. Along with depression and other things. I admire how all ur adulthood u have put hardeork into everything. Admirable
Just got my chips and a drink, I’m ready for this Storytime. 🤣❤️ I love your videos honey💗
Took a break because of school and I'm back and ready for my niki videos
Bro that's my first reaction when i wake up in the morning😂. Btw Happy Early birthday Nikki we love u and hope u have an amazing bday.
Wow the last bit where you were explaining how you felt crazy really screamed to me- I’ve been feeling cast out in my workplace, people make funny comments about my husband, myself, and my child because I’m in an interracial marriage and my child is mixed and they just say things that make me go “what?” Like.... what? but I’ve just been like “whatever, I’m here to make money,” right, but you helped me realize I really should be keeping track of these things. Maybe I’m not the only one 🤔
