> A gallerist who wants to work with me says she can’t add a white man to her roster.

Pretty fucking disgusting that someone would openly say that to him.

LOL - people have said shit like this to my face my whole life, including some CS admissions guy at CMU but he had the nerve to throw in a derogatory remark about ADD too. Just normal shit that happened in the 90's I guess.
I know a man who manages a theatre and he is pretty honest about how difficult it is to work in that market as a straight white man these days.
As a black man, I'd appreciate the lawsuit-opener over my reality, which is just people seeing my alma mater and name and pretending I don't exist.
Is it that they don’t think you’re qualified to have gotten in there or it’s an HBCU so they denigrate it?
HBCU. I don't think I've ever heard of an application being binned because a recruiter didn't think someone was qualified to get into the school they listed. (But, for the record, I WAS qualified; the HBCU gave me more money.)
That would make me pretty mad as well. I'm sorry if that happens to you.
To be frank, I don't think you are.
And you know this… how? By psychically divining it?
By reading your post history and taking into your account that you're stalking me.
LMAO I didn’t even realize we were commenting on two different threads together until you pointed it out. You’re not that important buddy
