Start looking for a new job. If you were my employee, I would have to give you the sack.

It is racist, in a "cop eating a banana" sort of way. If Jesse Jackass thinks its racist, then its racist. It isn't always right, but it is the way it is.

Well if he was my employee, I would give him a promotion and fire the little shit that was complaining after I kicked his ass for being a pansy.

that would be great.......................................................................in an ideal world.

In the real world, you would probably be out the door about a week after this guy after a 'complete and thourogh investigation' that decided it was in the best interests of the company, not you, to get rid of both of you.

Damn, thought you might be OK there for a minute. This doesn't sound good, and unfortunately email leaves a trail. Too bad you have someone who hates brown people as a co-worker. hint hint

Good luck, and don't EVER do this kind of shit at work again!

Are you implying that it's not OK for him to be hispanic!?!?!? Damn racist!

Just kiddin' man. I knew what you were saying. Just wanted to illustrate the absurdity of all of this PC racism crap and how easily someone takes something innocent and makes a mess of it. They're called liberals and they LOVE to make a freakin mess of everything. EVERYONE has some group looking down their noses at them. Poor look down on the rich. Rich look down on the poor. Black on white. White on black. Blah blah blah... People need to grow some thick skin and forget about it. 'Oi vay... what a nightmare.

That's a PERFECT example of exactly what I am pointing out. That simple comment would be enough to get you shit canned at most places these days. ALL that would be required was for someone to say they were 'offended'. GUPI - guilty until proven innocent.

You better hope your boss likes you, because he/she will be going way out on the limb to keep you from being fired. Being "with Mexican decent" unfortunately does not exempt you from charges of racism. LOL

I hope everything works out OK. Personally I find the pictures more funny then offensive.

Tell your boss that "My brown ass thought nothing racist about it, and I sent them to my Black friend in Seattle and he thought they were funny too!"

Yes, it's racist and STOOPID.

The "monster" show isn't a real person, just a hollywood creation. That simply ISN'T a 900 BC looter

Basically, these pictures prove nothing, show nothing, but racism.

Why not just post his face on a gorilla body? After all, you are trying to imply that blacks haven't kept up with evolution like white people.

It was only ment to be funny not to actually prove anything
deerrrrrrrrrrr

That is fine, I'll take your word for that. But still, it is racist in nature. It's trying to show blacks aren't as evolved.

The same could be said for the current advertisements on TV by progressive ins? They say something to the effect of: "even a caveman could do it". So does that mean that ALL white men are neanderthal/cavemen and that even they could handle something?

I find that to be a humorous parody of current events, I do not feel this is racist in any way. However, it may not have been appropriate humor at work. Depends on the attitude of your place of employment. I think your coworker should STFU and shouldn't have been a rat and it should be up to your boss if it's ok or not. If it's not ok, I think he should just give you a warning at most, tell you to never do this again or you're gone and just leave it at that. ETA: If I were the boss, I'd tell the person who ratted you out to STFU and worry about doing his/her job, not reporting trivial garbage like this to management. Then I'd probably tell you to not bring this stuff into the workplace again, even though I do admit I see the humor in it.

If you can't see the difference in a joke vs. murder, well, I can't help you.

1) I didn't ask for your help
2) I can tell the difference just fine.

Don't take the comments out of context.

You asked if I saw the difference in your example. I answered honestly. No. Is there a difference between rape/murder and photoshop? You have to be kidding. Yes, there is. What you should have been asking is whether both can be examples of racism.

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Now, bounce your limitus test off that. Better yet, ask yourself if you think you would have a fighting chance in hell with this in a courtroom and get back to me with an answer.

I understand what you are saying in your post above, about this being a fucked up world, where if someones feelings are hurt or they are offended, but that is BS....and it needs to stop...

You put the definition of racism right there....now according to that definition, how could the photoshop be racist...it just doesn't meet that criteria.

I would think a good lawyer would be able to prove that...nowhere does the photoshop implicitly or explicitly imply that another race is superior...

I would fight this tooth and nail...there would have to be a good lawyer who would take the case pro bono....

There were offduty officers working overtime for a convention or somesuch, and some of them ate bananas for nutrition while standing the post.
A black person (I think it was a woman) complained that a cop eating a banana was racist because he was saying that he thought the blacks were monkeys. The woman actually got an apology out of the mayor. I think it was in Florida?

Computer companies can be a tough place to make a living, man. I feel you. A little while back I sat on the board of e-Communities, this place that said they were gonna do something about virtual communities and JPEGs and stuff. Needless to say e-Communities is now just an extremely large carpeted room with a lotta keyboards stacked in the middle, but what I took away from that experience is that people who are extremely good at computers can often be gross, revolting, depressing, and have horrible clothes on.
