Absolutely, particularly in the corporate environment (and muslim women as well -- men are forever concerned with how women present!).

But in academia it's quite different, at least here, and at the institutions at which we frequent -- either poor, black predominate in student body, or the elite very expensive competitive ones, which means every African American woman there has had to be at least 4 times as good as anybody else, white (male and female) and black (male) to be where she is. Not to mention that tenured, full time faculty positions are becoming fewer and fewer.

And there you see the class difference again: adjuncts simply can't afford that kind of presentation.
