Technically, I'm the only one. Of course, there are others spread throughout the organization and a handful in the same building I'm in (houses other departments). It's mostly older women and located in Appalachia, so there's very little wiggle room to feel too uncomfortable. Plus, I'm too busy trying to look for other opportunities to really care how folks feel...

I've always been the only one in my department (I'm an aerospace engineer) 
I remember when they hired me, everyone kept asking "Have you met Carl yet?" (Jamaican guy in sales)... Like they were expecting a magical moment upon our meeting

Mizz-ultiple tizz-imes.
Ain't no thing but a g-thang. It's not like a Klan meeting. It's a business meeting.

This.
I'm half Surinami, my mom's folk are descendants of Indians though so I look Indian. Occasionally we'll have to work with external companies/contractors and there'll be a genuine Indian fella/lady and I swear every fukking time they think us meeting will turn into a Bollywood dance scene or some sh!t.

Lol...what's it like? You deal with it. It's not a big deal unless your insecurities outweigh your ambition.
