[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see what the problem is.

You all were discussing work issues, right? Her comment was about a work issue. I would have said something along the lines of what you did, but I wouldn't have put my head down afterwards.

Are people really this uncomfortable at the mere mention of race? Of course I don't know whether your co-worker's claim was true or not, but it's certainly something that happens, just like age and sex discrimination happen. You can even see it in the reactions of commenters here. Your co-worker has an attitude problem, is angry, is someone you need to be careful around, and unprofessional- all because she mentioned a work issue while you all were discussing work issues.

Racism, sexism the like happen because people don't say something.  In my office a racist comment even a joke will get you fired on the spot.  Something more passive would not be tolerated.  But management cannot know of the problem unless you tell them.
