I confronted a racist associate today.
In the past, I've had to tell him that the racist language he sometimes uses disgusts me.

Today he said that it's not because Obama is black that he's afraid of him. It's because he's an Arab.

So I said, "Oh, I see. You're not racist. You aren't afraid of ******s. You're just afraid of sand."









He looked just looked at me like

I'm sorry, but it was time to call a bigot a bigot.

5. I'd have him fired
I don't put up with shit like that - I pursue people like that until they are fired.

6. Arab/Muslim is the new black
Neighbors of ours aren't voting for Obama because they are afraid of him because he is Muslim.

When we reminded them that Obama is Christian, they reminded us that the muslim is still in his blood.

They pretty much define racism.

7. I'm slow. What does '******s' mean? I can't mean what I think it does.
