Was it coded? And do other POC groups get to be offended as well? Bc I’m Latina and I’ve had co-workers of all backgrounds say things that are not overtly racist but make me raise my eyebrow. And in this case, they used only 2 incidents of wording to fire her.  I absolutely think that racism is alive and well in the US but crap like this just gives RWNJs ammo to use against liberals.

No, the ACLU said it would only be offensive to black people.[/quote]
I don’t mean this specific scenario but rather in general. If a Latino or Asian person were to be offended in that work environment by something someone said, would that someone be punished as harshly as this lady? [/quote]

Maybe.  Was she fired for using racially coded language, or because they just didn't like her?  Or because her supervisors are especially sensitive? Not sure.

Is there as much racially coded language directed towards a Latino or Asian person or does racism towards them tend to be more obvious/explicit? I'm not sure of that either.[/quote]
