yeah, I'm white (English/German). It was just shocking to see (though I didn't complain at the time because those girls were fine). And interestingly, over the years there have been several blacks bring the topic up in the workplace once they learn about my background, the most recent incident being on my last day at my last job - a black lady was being given a hard time by a new male employee from India (she was a highly paid contractor who had a about 8 years experience, and he was a perm employee who had about one year experience, yet he continuously attempted to take credit for her work, but he obviously was fooling no one). She and I had a deep discussion on my last day about sexism and racism in different cultures and how frustrated she was with this Indian, and she went off on this tangent about she had had to endure black on black racism and she mentioned the brown bag test (she didn't say if she passed it). Then a male black coworker passed by and she pulled him into the conversation and he too was very familiar with the brown bag test.
