No sense of humor

How is racism in the workplace addressed? Here’s what reportedly went on at Navistar:

… a bag of hangman’s nooses was found under the plant’s human resources director’s desk … Racist graffiti found throughout the plant was also allegedly ignored. The graffiti included the “N word” on a paper towel holder, pictures of nooses that included the phrase, “Hang ‘em high,” a mop painted in imitation of a black woman’s hair and a swastika on the end of a wooden stick.

So guess who got fired?

A woman who reported the use of the n-word, that’s who:

“One of our plaintiffs got fired for reporting the use of the ‘N word.’ They said, since she had used the ‘N word’ to report the ‘N word,’ she was fired,” Clayton said. “That was reduced to a suspension.”

How do you explain these happenings?

Some of the employees who admitted to some of the alleged discriminatory behavior said in court documents that it was all just a joke.

Yeah, the problem is that those n-words have no sense of humor.
