I work in an office with two extremely racist people. One is black, the other is white.
I want to be clear, both of them are always polite about it, but they've said things in the past that are very clearly not okay.
Anyways the most recent drama is that our IT guy died. None of us knew anything about him beyond his name (nobody even knew he was married), but one of them is mad that the company didn't send out his widow's contact info, because they assume his widow is black and as a black woman, will need community support. The other is mad that the first wouldn't have supported the widow if the IT guy was white/Asian/Klingon/whatever.
Meanwhile I'm trying not to tell either how horrible they're being. At least one is supporting a widow I guess.
