[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all a joke. It's special privileges for certain people.

On Monday, a black colleague of mine (who I respect and admire) referred to a job one of or contractors completed as n***er-rigged. The contractor is white and this was said in front of three other people, two of whom were persons of color- but not black.

Colleague didn't get so much as a warning.

Can you even imagine what would have happened to me (white guy 44) if I'd said that?[/quote]
Black woman here, who would find that offensive. But, White Dude, you are complaining because you don’t get to say that? Really? I guess you must really want to say that at work. At any rate, rest assured there are plenty of things that white people can get away with that black people cant get away with, that are far more important than this. [/quote]

No. I don't want to say it. I want rules enforced equally. Person A shouldn't get to violate workplace decorum so egregiously without repercussion, while Person B would literally [i]lose his career[/i] for the exact same behavior.

It's hypocritical BS of the highest order. Special privileges for certain people.[/quote]

I work for a very liberal employer and our required training makes a point that nobody can use the N word at work.

It's inappropriate language in the workplace and employers should make that clear to everyone.[/quote]
