What many blacks or other minorities don't realize about "acting white" is that many white folks receive the same treatment. I can't tell you how many times early in my career I was counseled on appropriate clothing, hair length and other deportment issues if I "wanted to move up".

If minorities think white folks are born as corporate clones they are wrong. Many white people choose to conform rather than rebel in order to succeed. It's called the golden rule. He who has the gold, makes the rules. Or better yet, emulating success.

I was warned not to have any nail polish except clear at a 15-person creative advertising agency - and I am one of the creatives!
