People think, ‘T don’ t know you, I don’t trust you While she could not describe any specific incidence of racism in the community, Carmichael said she has experienced racial tension here. “It’s something you feel. Like someone who stares a bit ioo long at you. Or when I send somebody a resume for a job. My name sounds very Anglo, very English, so they expect a white person to walk through the door,” Carmichael said. “Then when I show up for an inter- view, you can see the visible shock on people’s faces.
