3. Well at one point I would egg them on, to see how far they would go |
|
And then at their most hateful, turn the tables and mock them for being such a racist fuck
That usually got me into fights though, so not sure I can recommend it.

7. I recommend that response - "Explain that to me... |
|
tell me again, what does his color have to do with it? Help me out here... That's not been my experience..."
And so forth.

9. Tell him you enjoyed the joke, then recommend that he tell it to |
|
the people in HR.
That should quiet him down for awhile.

10. I can't say without knowing what the joke was. |
|
But regardless of the content/context of the joke, or the guy's intentions in telling it, he should know that that type of humor isn't appropriate for the workplace.
Reminds me of Michael Scott from "The Office" repeating Chris Rock routines. Talking about streets named after MLK having higher crime rates just doesn't sound right coming from the mouth of a dorky middle-aged white guy.

get him to tell another one while you secretly capture him on your cell phone cam, then take the video to HR or the appropriate corporate department....that should do the trick :evilgrin:

12. Sometimes no reply is the best reply. |
|
Stony silence accompanied by no expression. Then simply walk away. If they know it's not funny, maybe they'll stop telling the "jokes".

15. I'd tell him you have family in whatever ethnic group he offended, then just LOOK at him. nt |
