Yeah, I don't know why a man would be scared of his recent insane ex pounding on his door. It's a well-documented fact that women can't use weapons. They have such dainty little hands, they could never pull a trigger, or do any real damage with a knife.

What kind of person makes racist jokes to people they don't know in real life settings? What kind of person makes racist jokes period? It's amusing how she tries to justify how she didn't gently caress up after the fact too.

It's really, really sad that I have to say this in goddamn 2016, but you are a drooling moron and horrible rear end in a top hat if you think that telling racist jokes in the workplace is normal and expected.

quote:

Girlfriend of 8 months [F 19] is angry with me [M 19]to the point of breaking up over changing my Twitter profile picture to Bobby Hill.

Yesterday I saw a funny picture of Bobby Hill and I made it my Twitter profile picture. No one follows me on twitter. Maybe 40 people that I don't know in person. The picture was me and her at a museum. It'd been that way since August. The picture is still on twitter. It hasn't gone anywhere. She got so angry about this and said she no longer wanted to be in the relationship because I just embarrassed her. And she says that I'm embarrassed by her because I don't post her on my Instagram/Snapchat which I don't use. I offered to just change the picture back. She wasn't having it. I don't see what else I can do here. Should I just let her go if she wants to go over something so trivial?

TL'DR: Girlfriend wants to break up over me changing my Twitter picture to Bobby Hill.

EDIT: Sent her a text this morning that said "Sorry about everything that happened." Hoping to patch things up. She just said "K".

Or the guy who asked another supervisor if he was the company pivot man

I was talking to this chinese girl and I mentioned how I saved money on something and she exclaimed "you so jew!!!" loudly in the middle of the office(...in the financial industry). If my first instinct was to laugh at her funny accent rather than get offended, who is the real racist????

Together we can solve the problem of workplace racism, one bull at a time.

One of the guys at my dad's company got written up for casually dropping this bomb at an employee function: "Why don't Jews go down on women? Because the pussy is too close to the gas chamber."

So let's recap here. We've got a) vulgar sexual commentary, b) jewish stereotyping, and c) holocaust joke (also a fart joke). It's like this dude went out of his way to find the worst possible joke he could possibly tell in a mixed environment. The only way he could have hosed up worse is if he'd followed it up with: 'Oh and by the way, I hate gays and black people'. I've said a lot of dumb poo poo before, but sometimes even I don't know what goes through people's heads.

Me and my core group of friends laugh at racist jokes sometimes, but it probably helps that those of us telling them are all some degenerate variant of mullato. Or quadroon.

Yeah I'd bet good money that if you asked Mark from Nissin Cup Nudist's post whether he actually thought that joke was funny or was just really uncomfortable and laughed because it was easier than raising a stink, you wouldn't get a response because imaginary people can't talk

I used to think racism is bad but now I'm not so sure

My [33 M] father-in-law [late 70s M] is trying to turn my son [8 M] into a racist and my wife [37 F] is okay with it

Two years ago, my mother-in-law passed away and my wife, an only child, convinced me to let her father move in with us. They lived across the country and I'd only met them a few times, but I think she felt guilty. He really doesn't know how to do any housework, so without his wife I don't think he could live alone.

Anyway, my son's black friend came over to our house about a month ago when his grandfather was watching him and apparently told him to get the gently caress out the house and told my son to make sure his friend never came back here. I learned about this at dinner that night when my FIL said, Jason tried to let a little friend of the family in earlier. I was pretty shocked and asked him not to use that language. I didn't realize how serious it was though until my son came up to me later and apologized for trying to let his friend come over. I immediately told him it was fine and that it didn't matter what race someone was and that doesn't determine if you're a good or bad person, etc. Then after he went to bed, I went to his grandfather and told him that he wouldn't be welcome here if he continued racist behavior around my son. He proceeded to yell at me and say that race mixing is gonna destroy this country and that he was only trying to keep my son safe and made several random, racist, basically incoherent remarks and I basically told him it wasn't something I was gonna debate and that he lived in my house and needs to follow my rules.

Last night, I was watching the news and President Obama came on and Jason said, why does that friend of the family hate us so much? I was shocked and after some questioning, I learned that for the last week or so, my FIL had been using his time with Jason after school to "educate" him about racism, how he shouldn't talk to black people, and how he was better because he was white, etc.

I was livid and told him to go to his room and proceeded to confront his grandfather, but I immediately started yelling and my wife ran into the room. After I explained the situation, she told me to wait in the kitchen while she talked to her father. She came out a little while later and told me I was overreacting, that he was from a different time, and just trying to spend time with his grandson, and how it's important for him to learn about other people's views. I tried to get her to understand, but she just got mad. Nothing was resolved and I slept on the couch. I worked late today, but I'm going home soon and I'm not sure how to handle it or what I can even do.

tl;dr: Wife is okay with her father teaching our son to be a racist.

Depending where he lives this is a slam dunk divorce and child custody deal and he should probably do that if he's not throwing the lovely old man out of the house.

Really? Of everything in this thread, this rings your bullshit alarm?

What's hard to believe, that someone talks like that or that the kid picked it up? It seems totally believable.

Nuebot posted:

I believe it. Kid probably had no clue what any of those words meant or who Obama was. Just that he loved his grandpa and his grandpa said that when that man was on TV. My niece loves spending time with her grandma and has started picking up not only some of her more creative curses, but says them with a newfie accent too any time she loses a video game. She has, however, learned to not swear at other people because that's mean and being mean hurts people's feelings.
