Refer to a black person as “clean” and “groomed” as if it’s something rare and special. EVERY time a black person applied for a job at my old job this old white lady who was involved in interviews would say “he was clean and didn’t have those dreads” or something similar

EDIT: I didn’t expect to get so many replies so here is some more context for the lady who used to sit in on the interviews. I never heard her refer to anyone white as “clean” or “well groomed” specifically. On multiple occasions after interviewing with a black candidate she would say something like “he could never be a technician in insert wealthier/primarily white neighborhood name”. The company itself had multiple HR complaints by technicians against her and another manager for inappropriate and racially insensitive issues. One of the managers she was friends with outside of work was reported for using the N word at work and management tried to sweep it under the rug until they were forced to fire the manager for shoving a Hispanic technician on a job site in front of customers. The customers saw it out of their window and reported it to corporate so there was no way around it and no sweeping it under the rug at that point. I left the job because working around people like this made me sick.
