[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 3443474, member: 11234"] Can - but circumstances matter. In our hub, a Caucasian FT sup answered his personal phone with "Yo, my brotha", but, you know, replace brotha. A black hourly was walking behind him, heard it, and made an issue. We had to send the supervisor home to think about it pending the HR review. I would have paid real money to sit in the meeting, because the sup had to explain this to both the HR and district manager, who were black themselves. End of story, he returned to the same job after 3 weeks off. He was a 20 year supervisor with no prior complaints of racism, so he didn't lose his job. But I'm certain this is a case by case basis. You can't definitively say someone would be safe or not. It's a bad idea to post anything on social media you wouldn't wear to work, or to court, or to Sunday dinner, on a T-shirt. [/QUOTE]
