Everyone is trying his best to be PC, but the real takeaway is that you have to be careful not to hire some ultra-sensitive pantywaist thug who publicly cries "racist" at every shitty joke, giving your company weeks of terrible PR to clean up. “Hey he’s dressed like Run DMC, does he know how to rap?” Oh, the poor darling. Let's ruin a bunch of people's livelihoods over this apparently wicked comment.

Spoken like someone who hasn't had to deal with casual and/or institutional racism much.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/jh72ja What are we doing to make sure this never happens again in the future? Well, even before this incident, we hired a VP of HR who has implemented a sensitivity training program for all employees. Which was evidently ineffective.

it is worth noting that they let the 4 employees in question go, that shows that they are taking the issue seriously now, IMO anyway

you sound racist

As a Latino minority, promptly go fuck yourself. You and the PC crowd are the scourge against "getting shit done". Go back to /r/shitredditsays you twat.

If you're offended by things like this you are either:

a) Extremely sheltered. b) A racist yourself.

> they are taking the issue seriously now

They are certainly taking the threat of a lawsuit seriously.

Edit: I'd be interested in asking you a question privately. Mind emailing me? My email address is in my profile.

So you like telling awful jokes and shitting on people who dress and look different from you, huh? I guess it makes you feel better about yourself.

As of the time of my posting, all four responses to mynameishere have been ad hominem attacks.

Edit: Make that five.
