On Friday I got into a mish mash with a co-worker who wouldn't stop commenting on the color of my skin. She just kept saying, "You're like so pale. No but like your so so pale. You're like REALLY pale!"  Um,what? First of all I'm pretty sure it's a federal offense to use like so many times and second of all how am I supposed to responde to that, "Yeah...how bout that? Oh look at the time, gotta go!" Her witless banter was offensive because what she meant was "you're so pale....for an African American".   If I was Caucasian, and this skin color I would be tan, mais non?  Her political incorrectness was somehow both extremely offensive and hilarious. Perhaps hilarious because this particular senario seemed like a scene directly cut from The Office. 

Geeeze, mind your P's and Q's ladies and gents. Just because it's America and we have the freedom of speech doesn't mean we should have the freedom of ignorant, offensive speech. 

Think about it.
