Stalinism at Work

[Chunk]

You know where I work so I'm not going to repeat myself (you never know...)

Yesterday a colleague of mine found himself in trouble because somebody overheard him talking to Indians about curry. I think he was asking their opinion on the curry in the canteen compared to the ones their wives make for them every day.

So they rolled out that old chestnut about how offensive it is to make assumptions based on somebody's ethnicity.

FFS! People make assumptions all the time - it's the way of the world. When I was in Italy recently several people asked me if I eat fish and chips. Was I offended? No. Of course not.

Anyhow, I have never, in my entire life, met an Indian who doesn't eat curry on a daily basis.

I've met a few who eat curry on an hourly basis; does that count?

An African lady called Betty came into the work canteen yesterday and asked "Is there any chicken on the menu?"

I said " No black Betty, it's ham or lamb."

I was invited to sit in on a permie interview several years ago, and to make small talk with the applicant before the start I asked him if he'd had far to come. Can you imagine anything more innocuous? I mean isn't that what the Queen asks to put people at their ease?

But at that moment in swept the interviewer, who heard my question and immediately hurried me out of the room to explain that I'd committed a ghastly feux pas, and I was banished from interviews thereafter.

It turns out that in interviewing circles these days, asking candidates about their journey is as bad as inquiring whether they abuse young boys, because there's the fear they may sue you for being prejudiced against people who have further to commute!
