[quote=Anonymous]I think she might want to email the professor and tell how uncomfortable the joke made her feel. If she does get an apology back, she should escalate. Direct confrontation is usually the most effective, in my experience. I have a very typical Russian name. During the first year, one professor referred to me as "commie", made all sorts of inappropriate jokes (i.e. asked the "mail order bride" to provide an answer), ridiculed Russians and etc. I was not the only one feeling uncomfortable, some other students approached me and apologized on his behalf. I ended up stopping after class and confronting him on his behavior. Can't say he started liking Russians but he stopped mocking me in front of everyone. [/quote]
