But the fact that people say that, and that apparently its a common expression, shows that all the talk you hear about racism and discrimination bening ancient history and that ignoring it will make it go away is BS. An expresion like that shows a concious or subconcious belief that excuding someone because of their race is normal or expected.

The more PC the world becomes, the more "hidden" racism becomes. Not everyone grows up in an environment that is "racist' free. If you did, your parents were hippies.

This is why its better to say nothing at all, even if it offends you.

The fact that something like this would even MAKE it to HR speaks to the utterly ridiculous level of political correctness we've been forced to submit to.

Someone acted like an asshole....another took offense to it and called her out on it. End of story, right?

WRONG...."wrong do-ers" have feelings too!! They have RIGHTS!!

Fecking hell...it's like being in a room full of crazy people.

You probably embarassed the hell out of her and thats why she's acting like she is. Its not about what you said, its the fact that you called her out.

White girls do.

Black girls would beat yo' ass.

Again proving that she is not black.

<-----Check my location. I hear that stuff all the time. So much hidden/unconscious racism around here. Good for you. And this is not about being PC. It's about someone saying something stupid and getting called on it.

Keep us posted

Just got called into the bosses office.

Apparently she thought I was calling her out because I didn't like her and was picking on her.

I said it was only about the comment. Nothing more.

Good for you for saying something! She probably said that to derail the boss that she said something racist.

I always call people out when they say racist things. Most people (especially men) get REALLY mad. Like, "How dare you call ME racist???" mad.

If you don't 'realize' you said something racist then you ought to be happy it's been pointed out to you so you don't do it again!!! Fool!
