I work with a racist, chauvanistic man. I showed him a picture of my daughters boyfriend who happens to be "turkish"
but was born in texas. He told me that as far as he was concerned the guy needed a bullet between his eyebrows.
I was upset, because I have gotten to know this young man
and he is better than any other guy she has dated. HE is an
american citizen and he has told my daughter that he doesn't
agree with the way things are in Turkey. They are good together
and it really made me feel bad when he said that. Now the guy who said this is a jerk in my book and to be honest, I think hes
jealous because this YOUNG man is working making 17 dollars
an hour and going to college - the guy who made this comment
makes $19,000 a year and he is a very (pardon me) opinionated
we work at a university and diversity is one of the big things here.
what do you think?

YES I agree everyone has a right to thier opinion, and every one has one. thing about the immediate supervisor, she is
just as bad... chances are that if I get to
move up into her position, which may actually happen... soon.... I will have to
deal with this guy on a whole new level.
thanks for the comments

He's ignorant, but ignorance abounds...sounds like you've got his number. I also think if he continues to make such outrageous statements, he should be reported to his supervisor. I guarantee you're not the first to hear his particular brand of hatemonging BS.

one of the biggest lessons you can learn from this is that everyone has a right to theri opinion (even if it is biggoted and ignorant) and life is way too short to allow ignorant people to affect the way you live and see the world. he is a jerk who is just jealous because a younger man is making more money than he is and is just looking to bring you down!

Its only hard for stubborn close minded ignorant people. I'm generally accepting of all races and religions. I think that people with his ideology have no place in today's society. They fuel hatred and keep us further from peace.

People who are being left behind can be very bitter.
