Depends on the culture at your workplace: I would try to persuade HR that this was not a racist incident. I would also remove student 3 from any hiring consideration, and not give them a good reference (diplomatically, of course). We need fewer idiots in the workplace.

This is a classic racist incident and a way to disenfranchise employees in the workplace. The fact that a senior leader laughs is troublesome.[/quote]

:roll:

No. Student 3 is acting like a snowflake. They're not even the same race as Student 2, who made the joke about their own race. This is well below the bar for "hostile work environment", and HR will see it as such if the manager explains what happened. The laughing is excusable, given the context.

I am shocked at the posters who support and enable such frivolous complaints. I am a woman who is not white. This is NOT what constitutes workplace hostility. If you start taking all the stupid seriously, you are less likely to recognize and deal with the truly egregious situations!

In other words - stop crying wolf.[/quote]
