  3. Daisy van liter.
  4. So first I wanted to dive into the actual project
  5. itself for this project.
  6. I decided to ask my co workers who just started
  7. working at the company about three months ago.
  8. I'm not very familiar with them, but they are friendly
  9. and I assumes, would be a good icebreaker for all
  10. of us.
  11. Um, it was hard choosing who I wanted to Elektra
  12. this project because I was worried about hearing something them.

  24. first co worker and his name is Steve.
  25. Um, I won't name any last names because they were
  26. pretty embarrassed about this question.
  27. to begin with.
  28. So my first question was pleased to irritate me.
  29. Um, and the response that I received, or rather so

  32. You mean hotheaded.
  33. Great cook on you.
  34. Watch a lot of soccer.
  35. I would have to assume that your English is not
  36. decorate. You most likely have family that works in house
  37. cleaning her landscape.
  38. Ah was pretty impressed by ah, this stereotype, huh?
  39. But I decided to submit that photo on the bottom.
  40. Right. Um, because it does kind of reflect Steve Chester's
  41. as he was answering this question, I did provide some
  42. background about me after this.
  43. Um, I did also respond Thio his stereotypes.
  44. Um, I didn't mention that I don't watch a lot
  45. of soccer.

  52. some of the things that were kind of corrected.
  53. Um, but he did say these air just stereotypes or
  54. no, Really interactive with Hispanic people, for I just moved
  55. here. From what?
  56. West? Not excuse, but this is what I see on
  57. TV. Okay, pull that specific quote.
  58. Um, because afterwards he did explain to me, um, that
  59. where he crew up, there isn't a lot of Hispanic
  60. people. It's predominantly white.
  61. So there's not a lot of interaction rather than, um
  62. what he views hump on TV.
  63. My next trial was my co worker number two.
  64. Um, and I changed her name, actually put it under
  65. care and for this one.
  66. So as well, I asked the question, Please stereotype me.
  67. This response was I would say You're very tough person,
  68. like what you say has to happen.

  70. are into Drug Lord businesses.
  71. I would also add I would also add that you

  92. My co workers had made it very clear that this
  93. image is not, um, what they actually feel about who
  94. I am.
  95. And, um, people that are also Hispanic and have, you
