Basically the conversation went like this.

Black guy asks asian woman if she has dated a black guy before (obviously trying to hit on her).
She says no, because all of the ones who have hit on her, in her experience, have been "players".
Black guy asks if she dates white men.
She said she has, because some of them who have approached her have wanted an actual relationship.
Black guy gets angry and starts talking about how weak minded white men are and how they're cowards, ect. ect.
Everyone just awkwardly shuffles around as he goes on.

Oh well, he's a temp so I'm sure he'll be gone in the next day or so. Still, first time I've seen someone be so open with their racism in person.

*Shrug*

It did happen, I was right next to them when it went down.
The place I work at is staffed by like 50% temps, meaning just about anyone who walks off the street can get in. We've had violent felons, (many) illegal immigrants who speak zero english, druggies, you name it.

We also get some really good people who have hit on hard times, but most of them are pretty awful people and workers. I've only been there for about a year now, so I'm sure crazier stuff than this has happened there.

Maybe he figured the woman could handle herself, and didn't need him interjecting into the conversation.

Nobody is talking about defending her. They're talking about calling out a guy screaming racist bullshit.

Did you just assume my ethnicity?

I do, almost every day of the week. I've seen plenty of stupid stuff there too, but at least in the bus I can wear my head phones to drown it out.

Why should I have? What would it have accomplished?

I've thought about how that might go down if I rode the bus wearing my mlp shirt and my nerd glasses.

Why should someone be obliged to engage with idiots? Just let 'em bark if they want.

Yep stereotypical racism happens every day. It's just different and slightly better than what we're coming from.

Back in retail there was a temp guy that was called Glowworm. He would joke that if you turned out the lights in the warehouse, you could still see him if he smiled.

Then why was this particular incident of note to anyone?

This is one of the worst topics Ive seen in a while....its like ICOYAR level bad...

First the OP makes a big deal about the fact that nobody stood up to this guys horrible racism but then when someone calls him out for not saying anything himself he goes "why should I say anything what would it have accomplished?"

Wow.. its almost like.. you could use that logic on everyone else in the room.


Not to mention hes talking about some random, irrelevant racism at some place thats clearly some low rent factory job where workplace behavior is basically held up to zero standards other than not falling asleep or beating anyone up or stealing things....


If this had happened in an office maybe this topic wouldnt be completely worthless and a waste of anyones time
