• Had a conversation of sorts with a guy at work who made some pretty unacceptable comments during lunch. He went on about different derogatory terms for black people and how it's only words and who cares etc. Tried to reason with him but it was quite hard as he obviously enjoyed winding everybody up. Then when me and another person got angry and told him we didn't care about his reasoning and would he please just stop, he tried to justify his remarks by pointing out he's foreign (white, from Iceland) and 'knows what it's like' (yeah right) and also has a cousin whose wife is black....

  • I'd be happy to have a conversation with this fella of Scandinavian decent.
    Being a foreign and being black are completely different. His ignorance of the fact is mind-boggling, his casual ignorance is why we probably can't have a conversation. As people are fed up of talking ffs

  • he obviously enjoyed winding everybody up

    Sounds like a basic cunt. People like that think it's a power trip to 'debate'. You might know him a little better but there's no point wasting your anger and energy on trying to reason with someone who doesn't care enough to engage. If you want them to just stop, forcing it from above might be the best way.
