I was just wondering if anyone here has this problem? People constantly making fun of ethnics just because they think racism is a joke, or they're just plain racist? I was working today and one of the managers (who used to be my best friend) and my brother kept making racial jokes about blacks. I can laugh at a racist joke occasionally, but this was one joke after another for over an hour. I told them it was enough but they laughed me off and kept it up. The final straw was when I told them about this older guy I know who had a stroke, fell and split his head open, and had a heart attack. The poor guy's on his death bed and my brothers like, "it could've been worse, he coulda turned black." He and the manager started busting up laughing. I got pissed off and told them I'm walking out and I did. I clocked out and left. I doubt I'll get in trouble for it because I was voluntarily staying to help, but stuff like that is part of the reason I'm looking for a new job. I'm totally ashamed of my brother, but if I told him that he'd shrug it off and make more jokes. Anyone else deal with shit like this?
