I've almost always been opposed to the forced cultural changes that our industry has dealt with in the past few years - but come one. This wasn't an "off-color remark", it was offensive and I can see no way it could have been intended otherwise.
- daenz 10y agoIf that's not an off-color remark, tell me an actual sex-related off-color remark.
- tinco 10y agoHow about: "Oh, I am surprised a girl won the raffle." That's off color (I.e. why put emphasis on the fact that they are underrepresented) but not offensive (I.e. there's no questioning the girls knowledge).
- daenz 10y agoNot trying to be pedantic here, but that's not off-color at all. There's nothing in poor taste about saying women are under-represented.
