it doesn't make me feel safer to know that someone is white, and it's become a red flag for me when it's mentioned in a very short intro by someone who doesn't want to screen.
That’s an interesting point. It could be the reason they mention their race yes, they want us to feel safer but then that would be racist of them to assume we wouldn’t feel safe with a client of another race
Also, not to you in particular but to everyone reading this thread.
Familiarize yourself with race, ethnicity and nationality. They don’t mean the same.
If someone asks for my nationality I will say Canadian, if they expect someone white that’s their problem.
