If they want to pull that race card bit. All you have to do is axked them: "Where you Black when I hired you?"

Ooh, I like that line!

A couple of years ago I worked for a company that let the majority of it's employees telecommute. I'd only actually met one person from there, and only because she lived just 5 blocks away. One of the people I had to fire ran to HR and claimed we were picking on him because he was black, so of course my boss had to come talk to the whole team and lecture us about racism. I stopped the whole speech by asking a single question: "How are we supposed to tell what skin color they have?"

You could hear a pin drop. Then the boss started laughing so hard she couldn't talk. Apparently it hadn't occured to HR that since each and every one of us telecommuted, we had no idea what anyone looked like.

Thus ended our "sensitivity" training.

That is so funny, good for you. We have to find as many ways as we can to stop this Race Card madness.

I'm sick of it, and they depend on us being afraid. I refuse to play their game.
