Racist!

A while back I was reported at work for racism. Which surprised me a bit as one of my best mates at work was a wee Indian girl who I used to go on smoke breaks with (the girl who reported me was also Indian) and the last person I''d recommended for promotion was a devout Muslim.

It came about when a bunch of us were chatting about the HEAT (helpdesk software) administrator who''d just left.

"Well, we'll need to get another administrator" I said.

"I think I'll apply" tweeted stupid, vapid bitch Indian girl.

"Err - I don't think there''d be any point" I said "The HEAT administrator is a technical position. You need a fairly high degree of technical computer knowledge and, to be fair, you've got the technical ability of a chocolate biscuit"

Ten minutes later the HR harpies descended breathing fire and brimstone and demanding my immediate sacking.

Luckily, my boss stood up for me and my non-white mates rallied round and the charge was eventually dropped, but my card was marked. The HR Gorgons eventually got me but that's another story.

Racist. For saying someone had the technical ability of a biscuit....

Cheers

Indeed.
Now had you said a coconut biscuit, you might have gotten away with it.

representing
the Equal Rights for Biscuits, Cake and all Confectionary Society I find your typically "boys-club" escape from prosecution for what is simply obvious as another example of reactionary bigots using Biscuits as a measure of intelligence. Many Biscuits have held jobs in many of our most important organisations and shown themselves to be equal, or better, at fulfilling the duties those positions entail. Your slander is yet another step towards the times of the horrific Massacre of NomNomNom and the terrible scars that left a generation wounded, nibbled and dunked. You should be ashamed.

I got suspended a couple of years ago whilst they investigated my racist conduct
...I forgot to buy someone a drink at a company party when they had purposefully seperated from the group and gone out of line of sight. Oh, and she was African.

Could have been worse....
I mean, imagine the uproar if you'd referred to her as a jaffa cake (yes, I know it's not a biscuit...)
