Subject: RE: BS: Do people employ staff by shape and size
I agree, Susan.

I experienced this myself once. I was on vacation once, taking a Smithsonian trip to experience the reefs of Florida. (This was before Smithsonian trips required a second mortgage.) The director of the camp where we stayed had curly black hair and an engaging manner, yet every time I saw him, I felt suspicion and resentment.

Finally I realized that my problem was that I had just worked with an evil-tempered, bullying driller who was the same physical type, including the curly black hair. My reaction was based on primitive fear, which told me, "Stay away from that kind of man!"

I wonder how many people go through life without ever having an insight of that type.
