Diversity at Work (Literally!)

I work for a South Korean company, at our facility in Covington. This past Friday, our Process/Quality team got together for a combination welcome/farewell lunch at RL's Off The Square in downtown Covington. As I was making our lunch-ending speech about our boss returning to Korea and our new engineer joining us from India (via Canada), it hit me that we probably had one of the most diverse groups that you could assemble at one table.
Our group included: Caucasian American male (me), African-American female, three Koreans, one Indian (down from Canada and in the USA for the first time), a Welshman, white male from Winnipeg Canada, African male (with stops in England and Jamaica), and my right-hand man Huy Phan from Vietnam.
Once I pointed this out, everyone had a good laugh (including the senior citizen, local church group at the next table!).
Needless to say, the conversation soon drifted to foods-around-the-world (a topic for another blog)!
If your boss says that you need some diversity training, join us for lunch one Friday!
