[QUOTE="johnr, post: 148151, member: 395"] Yesterday when a former employee brought up some liberal crap that was meant to look bad upon President elect Trump, and I spoke of Elizabeth warren, and jokingly called her Pocahontas(the Disney make believe character), I was instantly called a racist. I asked if I would have called her Pinocchio would that also have made me racist, cause he is just a cartoon fictional character as well, he said no that makes me prejudice. So having a sense of humor, joking around, and having a spirited conversation is no longer just that. It puts a label on me, one I don't really think I have earned, nor do I care to be placed in this category. do you guys have any of these types of situations arise? Is sarcasm, humor, and a bit of joking around racist? If I was black and said the same thing is that racist? The kid is a real tool, so I wouldn't expect any less, but being called racist pisses me off. [/QUOTE]
