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.

What ever happen to everyone being equal?
Who cares abotu people saying racial things?. Honestly. I don't care. I know plenty of others that don't.
People don't have enough to do rather than complain about race. It's annoying.

But the same slim number of people that are racist bigot assholes are matched by the number of minorities who are the exact same way. I'm not a big fan of double standards.

i've said this before, but i went to high school where the minority were whites, by far. and the most racist people i met at that place were not white. interesting, huh?
never once did i treat anyone differently because of race. not once. however, i specifically remember during the rodney king riots, some black kid accosted me, "you white, RIGHT?!" you think he saw anything but color that day? bullshit.
racism is racism is racism.. why don't people get this through their thick skulls?
