I never said what the guy said was racist.. I said it was questionable and not necessary...

As I said, don't hire minorities and the case is closed. At least for the rest of us, we don't want to worry about being called this or that. I don't want to work in an office where people around me have to be scared of joking on Australia and having me or someone else report them. Let alone saying I look like someone Aussie.

Racism here now coves an extremely broad view of things. Obviously excludes stating the positives about minorities, as taking about race in that circumstance is encouraged.

I am sure you will find this racist: :lol: STFU Connick you maggot.

He didn't just say, "wow, you look just like Sotomayor blah blah blah", though did he? Are you being deliberately obtuse now? Are you that stubborn or just simply stupid? I can't decide, help me out here.

Of course. You and pikey have demonstrated on numerous occasions, that you know more about what a person is saying, than the person saying it. With that in mind, you tell me who the idiot is?

The guy is Italian and from Jersey. Like myself, they tend to shoot from the hip but do not intend to offend.

Smarmy gits rarely do intend any harm, apperntly, but Sotomayor is not in the public eye because she is a renowned beauty, she is in the public eye because she is a well respected judge who has just recently made the Supreme court. Therefore any suggestion that this comparison is complimentary, simply on the basis that these two women look similar eludes me.

Refusing to use the spellchick!

I have put you on ignore. No really, I have, but you are still ruining my enjoyment of this site. .

I'm part Italian so I tend to be in the mafia. I can't help it.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

As a manager he should know better than that, When i got promoted a few years back I had to go through some management training courses that covers discrimination, race and a bunch of other sensitive subjects.

Whereas before between colleagues someone can make a sexual or suggestive comments, a joke, or something like that you might laugh, but as a manager you have to remove yourself and avoid those kind of situation at all cost.

As per the policy and liability thing, if 2 colleagues do something like a joke, or something taking out of context, that person can be reprimanded, but if a manager is involved it's a whole differnt mater from what i understand as a manager you are responsible for the company's policy as such you are being judge at a higher standard specialy in a lawsuit.

But Bias is Bias you can't removed it from People mind.

2 months ago, there was a Break in at work and the person manage to get away with 8 Laptops. It turns out around the same time there was a lot of moving taking place between the buildings, and the moving contractors were mostly latinos and blacks, so ONe of the White guy(engineer) mentioned with Those people around( moving contractors) anything can happen, One of them probably stole the laptops.

I HAD TO CORRECT HIM--- What made you think, One of them commited the crime, just because they are blacks or hispanic doesn't give you the right to point fingers at them. These people are coming here, just like you, they are here to do their Jobs, and specially in a Contract based moving company like this, DO YOU THINK ANY ONE OF THESE GUY WOULD BRING THAT KIND OF SHAME TO THEIR COLLEAGUES?? we are talking Mom and Pop business and these guys have a lot of pride, you better take your assumptions somewhere else.

He felt embarrased and left the table. GUESS WHAT?

3 Days later there was an announcement on the company intranet, Security have identified the person who stole the laptop, and ask everybody to be Vigilent, that person used A weakness in Our security to get Inside the building, but something called TAILGAITING, it's like you have an electronic badge, and at time someone is coming and you hold the door for them, things someone could have done as a courtesy, therefore they are requesting everybody to use their badges to open the door and not let anybody tailgaiting, I would stll let someone in but at least I always look at their Badge.

SO Stereotype is something that's embeded in people mind, Even a friend of mind the other day was saying, Even though you guys now have a Black president you are still complaning about racism, I just told her Just Because Obama became president doesn't mean it's an end to years of misconception that's embeded deep into some people's mind.

Gone but not Forgotten!

You're right, how dare anyone recognize South American woman for anything other than looks.

goodness me I can't believe you are actually defending this guy by saying he was actaully giving her a compliment :lol:

from what AJ has said about this guy I don't think that is the case...

Having A.J comment on such incidents is ridiculous. A.J is probably quoting a dream he had.

A senior manager who's worked here for decades, who's daddy worked here all his life... recently cracked a joke at a lady who works in our cafeteria saying she looks just like Sonia Sotomayor. Saying she could be SCOTUS justice too, looking like that.

Water cooler rumor is that it's gone all the way to HR.

ONLY IN THE USA.
