Question:

sheila is a black executive at a company that is almost entirely all-white. she jokes with her mother that when she goes to work she “checks her blackness at the door.” erving goffman might say that at work she is her self.

options:

a. center stage

b. misrepresented

c. front stage

d. back stage

Front stage: Front stage behavior reflects internalized norms and expectations for behavior shaped partly by the setting, the particular role one plays in it, and by one's physical appearance.

Sheila is the only black executive, a physical appearance clearly dictates how she’s perceived and she acknowledges this with her statement. She shouldn’t act “black” around her white coworkers because of her own internalized ideologies and this will influence her babe ikr around them.
Hope this helps!

Yes, they are always very triggered
