Can someone please explain to me...

so taking a break from all the wedding stuff (to which I will get back to posting shortly.) but can someone please explain to me how because i am a white Mormon i cannot be offended by things but almost anything i say can be twisted into something that makes me sound like a neo Nazi anti Semite? I mean honestly. when you laugh at what i say that voids your right to be offended. you don't get to go crying to the manager 2 days later cuz me and my friends have fun at work and still produce as much or more than you do. and don't even try and pull the race card. I will freak out. as a Mexican from Mexico city and a woman who is slightly black you can say whatever they hell you want? you can call me a honky and whitey and laugh when i say I'm too white to dance well and make all kinds of jokes about how Mexicans are getting weaker cuz TVs are getting lighter and other crazy race jokes I won't even bother to post but when we are all saying that and I make a joke about not being able to like cornbread cuz I'm the wrong color you get to laugh and then decided after emailing everyone in the unit that is not me and my three friends that that really offends you and that I've been saying racist comments all along without ever telling me that it offends you? fuck that. I apologized and took this one. this one time. because as a Caucasian person I cannot win. so go back to your minority meeting or whatever and chalk another one up. but let me hear a single race comment again from ANYONE and I will walk straight down to the union and file a grievance. I won't even go to my manager. I'll jump so far ahead it won't even be funny.

and on this same topic lets not be throwing religion into the mix. when you ask about my religion and I answer you in a very polite respectful way(even f the answer is I don't know.) that gives me the right to ask about your religion and get answered in the same way. When you talk about your religion semi politely (actually I would call it haughtily but whatev) with the other catholics that then gives me the right to talk about my religion politely( we weren't even semi polite about it. we were polite as hell dammit) with the other Mormons. you can't say that me telling a few people about the draper temple offends you. if anyone should be offended it should be me. asking if we sacrifice our firstborns naked in the temple if really offensive. and implying that the temple is a giant orgy and the place where we brainwash people Is really really offensive. but even if I brought that up it would get thrown out cuz I'm a Mormon which gives me no rights at all it appears. again I apologized to save my job. On this one I was for sure not in the wrong. but let me hear a single word about religion again. or anything even close to it. I'll march straight down to the union and file a grievance and freak out. In fact you know that background you have on your computer of Jesus bleeding and dying? That's pretty offensive to me. Push me.

and this one wasn't directed directly at me but it still pissed me the hell off. Don't sit around and talk about how big the average penis is and measure it out on a ruler and stick the ruler in your mouth and make jokes and talk about your hysterectomy and cramps and a whole slew of other things then go complain because two people talked about Brest feeding their child and claim you were "just trying to protect the only man in the unit" OK lets back up. we sit 4 seats away from Heber. You and your group sit across from him. We were talking about a natural thing and not even in a vulgar way. in a natural way. You were talking about blow jobs. When you ask him if what we are talking about offends him and he says oh i just tune them out that means "I'm 50 and a big boy. I've got this under control" it doesn't mean "please overstep your boundaries and go complain because you don't like these people who I do like and then use me to hide behind as your reason" I'm sorry. but Heber has 10 kids. he's familiar with breastfeeding. if anyone's comments were offending him I'd put money that it woulda been yours before ours.

so in conclusion I am becoming a deaf mute at work now. all communication that is not necessary for me to do my job will be kept to email and text. let me hear a single word about anything mentioned above and I will get so loud that not only will the union hear about it but also the lead, manager, and everyone else i can get to listen. Fuck. that. Tell me if I'm offending you. don't hide behind someone and don't wait 2 fucking days to decide that I'm offending me. and don't expect me to read your goddamn mind. and don't be surprised when half the unit doesn't come to potlucks or anything else and we get promoted first. you just can't produce the work and therefore you need an excuse. try and find a way to make anything i do from now on offensive. but if this doesn't get dropped today then be prepared. You have just created about 4 offend Nazis. anything that could even remotely and abstractly be twisted into something offensive to anyone will now be reported.(I'm just worried about the shite Muslims. they could be working here and what you said really offends me because it could offend them They are God's children too and we need to be sensitive to their needs.) Push me. I don't lose shit like this. you made this bed. now sleep in it.
