I'm sure a lot of bigots here will spout about how they hate diversity, but corporate designated a "trannies only" bathroom and everybody's too scared to use it so I moved my stuff in there and now it's my private office

Do you eat at your desk?

No, why should I?


As long as they're talented, I don't really care.

To be honest though, I doubt anyone of a different culture would truly fit in. We have one Latina woman who does our A/P and bookkeeping, but other than that, were a bunch of Saltine Republican crackers

Of thought: absolutely. I think that is key to have widespread expertise and backgrounds where people will think of things that would never cross your mind so that you can be a better team.

Of ethnicity, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin: I don't give a single shite. Just because you're a woman or Hispanic or gay shows me nothing on what you bring to the table. If it weren't for the bullshite that is affirmative action, then it would never cross my mind.

Unfortunately the Left is all for the later and none of the former, and that's why they lost the election and continue to lose.

One white guy among 50 Asians. I understand being the minority at the work place, and frankly I found it fun.

All affirmative action has done for me i make me wonder if someone benefiting from it is qualified.

Agreed. I guess I would throw all those things in with qualified. I should have been more specific.

Not at all. When you have to be around shitty workers vs good workers every day I can damn near promise you you won't give a shite what color they are.

As an American I'm in the minority in my office. Plenty of white Europeans though.
