I wonder if the same BS is occurring at Lawrence Livermore and Sandia labs?...
I don’t know. Have not heard, but suspect they both do too. The one that was publicized was Los Alamos. They are near Espanola, and long ago it was a dismissal offense to tell and Espanola joke while at work at Los Alamos.
I know some interesting tails about dumb stuff that was forced on even minorities by the EEOC. On guy at a plant near Amarillo, had his 3 wheel bike(to deliver parts) painted with his name on it. He was really proud to work there. He painted his name and “Numero uno Mexicano” on his bike. The EEOC forced him to remove Numero uno Mexicano from it, said it was a racial slurr. He was Mexican, how could it be a racial slurr. Nuts!
He argued to keep it, “I am the Number 1 Mexican”. EEOC did not listen.
