Okay... alright. I'm a little confused and aggitated over something that happened at work. Here's the convo:
*In staff room with other co-worked, happily muching on my lunch*
Co-worker: *Starts babbling about boxing*
Me: Uh huh *kind of interested but not really*
Co-worker: Blah... blah... blah... Anyway, black people are better boxers than white people are.
Me: *Blank stare* Beg your pardon?
Douchebag: Well, it's a scientific fact that coloured people have thicker skulls.
Me: *WTF look* ...I have to go now.
WHAT THE FUCK?! You're kidding, right? I mean, REALLY NOW, was that necessary to say? I didn't even know how to respond I was so shocked. I didn't argue because I didn't want to waste my time, it just shocked me to know that some people actually still think like that.
So, do I have a right to be offended? Or am I just over-reacting? I just seem to have this problem wherever I work. The last job I held I had a co-worker tell me to "go back to Africa" when he got mad at me over something stupid.
I need some serious cheering up or something to keep my mind off of this.
Other than that everything's good

we had a fuckwit high profile doctor in australia say something similar to his patient . an aboriginal lady went to see him because her daughter fell on her head and she thought she had concussion. the doctor said 'dont worry black people have stronger skulls because when they were cavemen they use to hit each other over the head with clubs to comunicate' it sounds like a really cheesy rascist joke but this guy was a really well respected doctor. needless to say he screwed that for himself. all this made front page news blah blah blah, im bitching to my neighbour about this dick of a doctor when suddenly she says 'actually he is a fuck wit but i better mention hes the father of my daughter' . shit! this is the guy that wanted this woman to abort her unborn baby at 7 months and that he had a friend that would do it. thank god she dumped him. yehhh sorry you had to here that shit from those people.
