In another thread I've mentioned that I work alongside alot of Asian people, anyhoo i was at work and and asian girl was telling me she passed her driving test so i was like o well done, which car are you gonna buy. she was like I've bought a Ford focus so i was like wow, what reg and she said the new reg. I like cars alot and wanted her to be more specific and said no but what reg is it and she said
I'm not telling you, you might try to nick my car, you're black.
I was like pardon me. she was like i'm joking I say it to philip all the time (hes another back guy) I was like I dont care and i dont appreciate those kind of comments. Just like if i were to start making rascial comments about asians u wouldnt be too happy.
so anyhoo I then went over to Philip and asked him has she ever said anything like that to you before. and he was like yeah she saids it al the time its a joke. they always says 'its cos you is black' (like Ali G). So i wass like dont you see the error in what theyre doign and he just dismissed it.
Anyways I was fuming, actually fuming and i left it as that. I dont know what to do, because ive known from day that asians are rascist and ive never cared for them.
So my questions is: What do u guys think i should do? should i report her? let it slide? i dunno.
And please nobdy give me silly crap like u should have sparked her, cos them kind of comments are not productive. Thanks!
If you want to be loved...be Loveable!!

But then when I read this part "they always says ' its cos you is black' (like Ali G)." I just banana.gif laughed and laughed and laughed, even after I copied and pasted it from above I laughed again.
The fact is she didn't give you the info you was seeking so it wasn't really a joke. But it was funny.
Follow her to her car after work one day, thengive it a good 'nick' and when she says "Why'd you do that" just say "cos I'm Black, hahahahaha" then walk away.

You should have reported her for her own safety cos you know say when a next black person comes to work there and she tries it again, they r gonna kill her

I would do the following:
- Take said person aside and do the, letsgo for a coffee/tea/cigarettefriendly approach. Once she is comfortable get straight into it"I just wanted to have a word about what happened the other day. Ido not appreciate your comments and in future I would like you to refrain from such statements or I would have no option but to report your comments..................."
- Keep a log of any other comments directed at you - discreetly.
- Don't make it an issue or act unprofessionally toward her. If she has any brains she will get your point after the serious talk and know how to act.
Also,do not- I repeat DO NOT involve Philip again on this issue.

Here's a thought.....why not go back to the Asian woman and say "Though Phillip may not find a problem with it, I find it offenseive".......if she truly meant not harm (or ven if she did) she may apologize and it will be over....*whipes hands*

@Ms Legz
You can take the advice that I_princes gave but the key words to remember what she said was "if she has any brains" .
This is not a joke I repeat this is not a joke I am serious.....please read the following and consider :smoking-devil
If the person does not mend her ways towards you and these comments why don't you accidently post her email address to me here at Blacknetbighairlolbut make sure....now this part is extremely important .........you do this act from Phillips pc.....ok that part is very important....its called killing two birds with one stone LOL niceone.gif

This girl seems like she's not even worth the effort. But if she says something to you again then you should give her what for.
@Parris - Maybe you shouldn't take yourself so seriously. You've only been here for 2 days and you're already giving it blether. Tut, tut, tut.
My comments are not meant to offend. If you think I\'m wrong don\'t get mad, just educate.
