Oh I have a real one!
This really happened a couple of days ago. A group of us were having equality and diversity training, by a "diversity professional" that had been brought in to assist us in "valuing our people".

He asked us "do we all feel that this company shows equality and diversity? Do we? What do we all think".

Silence.

"Well I can see we have a couple of people from different nationalities in the room - what do you two think?" and gestured towards 2 people in the corner.

One was black, and one was Chinese. Both were born in Surrey.

Ahhh Diversity "training"
Teaching you to look at people you had never even considered different before, in patronising new ways...sigh

"What do you think when you look at that gentleman at the back there?"
"Terrorism? Black Panthers? The horrendous slave trade? Gangsta Rap?"

"You racist fucker! I think 'That's Jim from Preston- he owes me a pint'. Just because he's black you think he's into gangsta rap? I guess I'd better get off home for some tea and Elgar then."

A pilot, you racist fuck.

Been there, done that.
At one diversity session, the manager giving the talk finished up thus:

"OK, guys, we've learned that you might not think that you're being insulting, but different people take offence at different things."

Pause.

"Especially Pakis, they're really fucking touchy".
