Anyone else the minority at their workplace?

Just wondering how you feel about it. The company I work for is too good to leave, but I would like to work somewhere where I'm not the ONLY person of a certain minority.

I'm a minority and I try to avoid isolation but have a hard time with it. I feel like I'm stereotyped before anyone gets the chance to know me.

Well, I have been that person but to me, it really depends on a variety of factors. I've gotten used to being the only X and Y in my career but I don't necessarily see it as all down-side. I also was very aware that if I left b/c of my "onlyness", that I make it harder for the next person to be recruited. In other words, someone has to be first. And I think how I felt about it, depended on whether I felt like the company I was with at the time was conscious of this, treated me fairly regardless of my minority status and where they were on the continuum of trying to change and improve.
