Really good to read this...sad, disturbing, but a good reminder that company culture can be _wrong_. I know that I'm guilty of pushing jokes too far, to the point where they're objectively wrong, inappropriate, wildly unprofessional. At some point it starts to feel wrong, but you shake it off, because everyone is laughing, and it feels like you're in some special place where you're beyond racism or sexism or culturalism, but you're wrong. You're never beyond those things, you have to realize that they're things that shouldn't be dismissed as light office banter, there's too much history to them. This post is a reminder that of that, I'm really glad to read it. These kinds of stories should be required reading in any company, much more effective than canned videotaped play acting in HR videos.
