A group of black men I work with have recently been in an argument at work with several women over what they describe as ‘nosey black women who are always trying to get in your business.’ They don’t seem to be talking about any person specifically, just in general. What’s up with this?

I’m not sure what you mean by when you say, ‘What’s up with this.’ What’s up with what? A few people got into an altercation about loud, nosey women. The emphasis on ‘black’ was unnecessary, because loud women come in all races. My older sister majors in public relations and deals with people of all race 24/7, and she notes that all women can be loud and will be nosey.

I’ve found the opposite: that white people usually are the ones who feel the need to stare into people’s face while they have private conversations, and look over people’s shoulders and grin sheepishly when you catch them. As if it’s cute.
