You mean, aside from the discrimination, how was this discrimination?
- cpncrunch 11y agoI'm not sure how commenting on the colour of a person's skin is discrimination. Perhaps unwise to say someone "blends in with the chair", but I don't think it was racism and more than saying "when I was driving I didn't see you because you were wearing a dark jacket and it was dark outside". The issue is that Amelie interpreted the comment as "you're black, and therefore you're worthless/invisible". That's not an unreasonable assumption. The main problem IMO seems to be that Kelly is a bit of an asshole/bitch, with zero empathy. Any reasonable person either would have thought twice about making that comment, or would have apologised and explained that she didn't mean that. It just looks like a typical company with dysfunctional management/HR rather than any kind of discrimination.
