wow i go away to take a piss test for work thinking this thread was going nowhere after LTs response and its already on page 3.
let me clarify WHY i started w/ that comment...
ive only been here for about half a year. ive made friends, but not the ones that made the comment and laughed. theyre actually african american, but that shouldnt matter. im more surprised b/c it was said in a PROfessional workplace, not in HS, college, in a bar or w/ just friends. plus i was taken aback b/c they know who i am and that im korean and that im in the next cube down. so it just made me wonder 'hey, do they realize that theyre at work?'. i dont care that they made the joke cuz i have tough skin. like a lot of you guys said, youve been teased or had crap happen to you regardless of who you are. i just learned to roll w/ the punches.
so yeah, thats why it surprised me, and im thinkin that if i were anyone else, like nightshade said i couldve gone to my supervisor and caused a ruckus. on THEIR behalf i just hope they watch themselves or someone else might make things difficult for them.
