I thought that it's interesting how redneck jokes are ok but the second someone says some joke about non-white people all hell breaks loose and people can lose their jobs because of it.
You can have all of those people fired.
No you can't, this is California.
Man, if that happened here (Texas), and it's reported to Human Resources, it has to be acted on. And there is no tolerance. Which I absolutely hate by the way. I think people are way too fucking oversensitive. Can't even crack a good racial joke anymore.

Well this isn't the 70's anymore. What I notice about this country now is how white people have to be sensitive and accountable to non-white people's feelings, but non-white people are not held accountable to be sensitive to white people's feelings.
Try it out some day. Be a white boss of a non-white person. The person's performance has issues and you discapline them. The next thing to happen is the person you discaplined went to your boss and complained "it's not the fact that my performance was bad, it's the fact that I'm being discaplined by so-in-so because I'm not white." You watch and see how quick your boss will come down on you for that. Well, I'm not sure of your company's Enterprise Environmental Factors (company culture and existing system), but I sure know mine and they tremble at the mire thought of someone using the race card here, and will cut my thoat regardless of right or wrong just to save their ass.
I've never eaten a piece of sushi I didn't thoroughly enjoy.
