"Have you ever felt discriminated against at Wyatt Wheeler?"
"Well, yes."
"In what way?"
"Well, Mr. Wheeler's secretary, Lydia, said that Mr. Wheeler had a problem with my earrings."
"Really?"
"Apparently Mr. Wheeler felt that they were too . . . 'Ethnic' is the word she used. And she told me that he said that he would like it if I wore something a little less garish, a little smaller, and more 'American.'"
"What'd you say?"
"I said my earrings are American. They're African-American."
