[QUOTE="athena, post: 205348, member: 9953"] That's pretty funny area43 and makes a good point! Also, harrassment in the workplace is not limited to direct attacks. For instances, here are a few examples of sexual harassment. Pictures/posters of women (or men) in revealing bathing suits in the work environment. The telling of dirty jokes or derogatory jokes in the work environment. For example, it would be considered sexual harassment to tell a "gay" joke in the workplace. You assume that using the N word is only offense to blacks? I grew up in Missouri and moved to Georgia a couple of years ago. I was astonished and quite frankly appalled by the way people use that word down here. It bolsters the already tense atmosphere in South between whites and blacks. I don't care who is saying it and whether or not there are any blacks around. It is NEVER appropriate for a white or black person to use. TIt is so ridiculous down here! I had a guy actual say he wouldn't date me b/c I had dated a black guy! The word has been used to indicate inferiority/ignorance of another race! Why would you want to go around calling yourself ignorant and inferior! I am with Browniehound, it only hurts blacks to call themselves this. It is so ridiculous down here! I had a guy actual say he wouldn't date me b/c I had dated a black guy! You say you are being singled out?! Anytime someone is willing to go out on a limb and use this language they are putting themselves up as target. They can't fire you if they don't have a reason. By using such language, you are giving them a reason. It may not be fair that you are the only one getting in trouble but the only just thing would be to fire anyone else that uses such language, not give you your job back. Good grief! I have been in the South way too long. I've got to get out of here. This place is going to make me crazy! [/QUOTE]
