No, she wasn't saying that Nigerians were lazy. I just didn't think the post needed the word Nigerian in it at all.
Anyway, this character assassination makes me uncomfortable so I'm out of this discussion

It wasn't just the use of that term, it was the context in which it was used and then the defence of the comment. Same happened with brain dead house wives. I'm genuinely surprised by that - it's not what I was expecting to find when I realised that there were other threads leading up to this spat.

My employment experience - which I grant may be atypical - tells me that Personnel was nice people in cardis who sorted out your sick pay and national insurance whereas Human Remains is a department of bastards of the first order.Why did they have to replace Personnel with Human Resources and Maintenance with Facilities Management etc. anyway? If it ain't broken...

yes it did. it was about how someone tried to use a stereotype to their own advantage. if the she had just said "this person came in and tried to use a steroetype to their own advantage, oh how we laughed", it wouldn't be much of an anecdote.
That's what makes me laugh, poor bloke checking his phone thinking "Jesus fucking christ"
The more I think about this the funnier I find it.
"Oohh plenty of suggestions on how to deal with this sensitive management issue...."
Then just scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling.
i'm a nice (when i'm at work, at least) person in a cardi who sorts out your sick pay, and your annual leave, and that line of fluffy in H aaargh. i really wish it wasn't called that

you're a sly cunt, firky. "i came across this a few weeks ago but let it pass", you're a fucking liar. just like you did to me a few days ago, you've been searching through posts for dirt then quoting what you fancy out of context. you're a snidey, trolling cunt. anybody taken in by your phoney pc bullshit is a mug.

I believe all these changes were taking place around the 80s (or was it 90s), around the same time as giving people different impressive sounding titles instead of pay raises.
I went from a typist to a Typing Services Executive

Happy to accept I've got it wrong/.
It was just the context of what felt like a lot of posts about national stereotypes, I dunno. As I said, the thread felt a bit off but I was watching telly at the time and didn't feel incensed enough to post or anything.

i know what you mean.
i think the posters saying about him possibly being sexist because he was indian should have been pulled up, rather than someone describing someone who is indian as "indian".

I told you I was going to start a pointless argument with you in advance and I did, you didn't bite though. I was trolling you, you're right. BTW it's Melman to you
(thought you realised it was a piss take, obvs not!)

Like a boss.
Is it?
Thing is, the guy's still housebound through recovering from a serious illness - And he's clearly a bit bored and also maybe a little bit bitter - Which is why he's engineered this shitstorm out of absolutely fuck all - However many pages of bullshit it's been brought into being by nothing more than a kind of twisted bloody mindedness caused by frustration born of ill health.
Mind you, I'd probably be a bit sour too if I wasn't well, so one can't really blame him. The scenario described above is what's happened though.
I'd rather if you didn't make excuses for myself or presume I am bitter because I stand up to some things, Frances. Some weird pop psychology going on there.
FYI I am not ill or in poor health so your argument is flawed in the first place. Not sure what gave you the impression I was TBH. Weird.
Cheap shots are shit shots. Have another go.
