    If the guy was talking to his kid like that, I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume it was a black guy yelling at his kid, and not being a racist. Maybe it was a white guy, but that doesn’t sound like something a white guy would yell at their kid, even a racist.

      Not all black people think that using the n-word is ok and many will tell you that no matter who is using it, the word has a racist undertone.

      When you work for an employer that makes it a point to embrace multiculturalism it’s not the kind of language you can use while you’re working.

        While what you say is true, it doesn’t really refute the comment you’re replying to. It could have been a black, non-racist employee, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to use offensive language in the workplace.
