[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 929387, member: 33209"] Unfortunately, bigotry has long reigned within the "insider" at UPS (and likely every other unskilled work place in America). Racist, sexist, gay, etc. jokes have long been shrugged off as shop talk. I've heard many racial slurs directed at black people and I've also heard many racial slurs directed at white people. In the centers I've worked at, the black employees immediately congregate & voice their desires to work with each other. It's a very sad reflection on segregation still occurring within the USA. That said, the original poster clearly has some issues regarding race. His concerns may or may not be legit, but he's clearly very sensitive to race. One thing I will say is that I've worked in two centers and visited a dozen more (participation with CHSP) -- management is always yelling at all employees to work faster. I find it hard to believe that in a large center they target just the three blacks. It's certainly possible, but your comments kinda make me suspect that you're just overly sensitive. I do strongly encourage you to voice your concerns to HR. Given the racial sensitivities within this world, they'll probably act one way or another. [/QUOTE]
