| 0:00.0 | Made my racist co-worker uncomfortable after he made a joke? Oh well, I am a 23-year-old woman, |
| 0:06.0 | and I've been at my job for about a year. I'm one of the youngest in my department, |
| 0:09.6 | and one of the few women of my background. I usually ignore workplace banter, but one co-worker, |
| 0:15.6 | Stephen, who was 34, has a habit of making subtle comments that don't sit right with me. At first, it was small |
| 0:22.8 | things. He'd ask where I'm really from, or joke about how I must be great at handling spicy |
| 0:27.7 | food. I never made a big deal out of it. But last week at lunch, he decides that apparently I am |
| 0:33.4 | lucky they probably needed to hit their diversity quota. I'm guessing he always does this sort of thing |
| 0:39.8 | because everyone led out a good old chuckle. I almost hesitated. Then I let it go and I said, |
| 0:46.6 | maybe, but it's crazy how I got promoted so fast whilst you've been in the same role for like |

| 1:01.8 | stephen looked at me like a kicked dog and said that he was just joking i didn't really care to hear it |
| 1:07.6 | so i just smiled later my manager told me that Stephen felt humiliated |
| 1:12.4 | and that I should have been more professional. I said, I responded the same way he spoke to me. |
| 1:18.7 | Yes, Stephen, feeling humiliated and you should be more professional in the office. Look in the mirror, |
| 1:23.4 | mate. Go into the gents and look in the mirror. What are we doing here? Stephen said that he was |
| 1:28.3 | just joking with you. Well, why didn't you just say to him, I'm just joking with you, man? How do you |
| 1:33.5 | like it? Ridiculous? Absolutely ridiculous. Also, it's not really that he's just joking, is it? Because |
| 1:40.4 | it's just racist. Like, or was NFO. I don't know exactly what your background is, |
| 1:44.5 | but I can probably guess from what he's saying about, you know, where are you really from |
| 1:48.8 | and handling spicy food that it is just disgustingly racist. So it's not even joking in the first |
| 1:53.5 | place. It's just racist. Now, if you like stories about racist getting completely destroyed, |
