Just to be clear, you want to work in an environment where you can say racist things with impunity. Is that really how you want to present yourself on HN?

- tntn 8y agoit seems somewhat expected that someone might say a "sensitive word" in a meeting intended to discuss "sensitive words." Firing the guy for saying a word they were talking about seems strange - must that meeting be full of ambiguous euphemisms? How do you discuss a thing without being allowed to say it?

No more than "we're discussing a murder" means you have to commit one. > How do you discuss a thing without being allowed to say it? "Let's not say the n-word." See how easy that was?
