  • On-topic suggestion

    LW,

    I work in a very white, conservative moderately racist office. (law office). When people in my office come up with this stuff, I argue with them about it. I don't drop my relationship with them. I argue with them about it. I don't know that it works, but I don't feel complicit and maybe they rethink their position just a little.

    Of course, this also causes them to say outrageous things at times because they know that they will get a rise out of me. "Bait the liberal" is good for hours of lunch-time entertainment.

    Ah, well.
