Hello one worker (conservative) told another worker (liberal) who is home shopling that he doesn't want her kind in his town and now we're trying to explain to a very confused and naive new dutch hire while HR frantically flips through binders.
The new hire doesn't understand how that's racist or
Somehow not familiar with the....I guess tension of US politics are how it relates to geography. It wasnt racism, theyre both white, just someone being a shithead.
I guess the terms "house shopping" and "home shopping" are colloquial. I was just introduced to "home shopping" meaning shopping for a home like a week ago, so I had a bit of a leg up in the context clue, there.
I just got an email from HR about donating to the "Sick leave bank" - a place where you can donate a day of your sick leave hours to a general pool that anyone can use for medical emergencies when their usual sick days run out.
And I'm just like.. damnit I hate my country that this has to be a thing.
This is just the next step towards GoFundMe being our future healthcare system.
so why was he talking to a worker that was at home shopping? and how did it end up in racist dialogue territory?
The worker was home shopping, which is a way of saying looking to buy a house.
To which the person is told by the racist that he doesn't want their kind living in the town she was looking at homes in.
This is bog-standard racism. Sometimes people dress it up with worrying about demographic shifts and the like but it all boils down to the same thing.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh. oh my god thank you so much that story made no sense and i thought i was losing it
Same. I was reading it as the employee was home, shopping. Not shopping for a home.
i know i was like she at home looking for socks or whatever? and he's all sliding into her dms with this NOT IN MY TOWN bs? i thought that takes a certain level of a-hole
I don't think The Netherlands has it as bad as the US, but the kid is maybe familiar with hate crimes towards people living in the "wrong neighborhood" according to the people living there. https://www.ad.nl/den-haag/buurtbewoners-duindorp-hakken-ramen-van-marina-in-met-bijl~ab650fed/?referrer=https://www.google.com/ from a few years ago when neighbors destroyed the car and windows of a Surinamese woman. Obviously more about racism than political preference. Also plenty of political hate coming from FvD voters who believe political opponents are pedophiles. And anti-corona figureheads leaking the home addresses of politicians and kindergarten locations of their children who they disagree with.
This has been a fascinating if unexpected dive into what I assume are regional language differences
We just desperately tried to understand what you were on about. And, through that, for a beautiful moment, all regional languages became interconnected.

I assure you, some of us are dumb full-time.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

When I find out whose fault it is, they're gonna pay.
Presumably Neolithic humans?
No, Monday comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "mondandaeg" which means "The Moon's Day." So you have your choice of blaming Ancient Brittons or the Moon.
No, I'm blaming whoever invented the week. I mean, Monday wouldn't be so bad if it only happened once a month, right? But no, it happens every. single. 7-day period.
And, for the record, many European cultures have a "weekly day of the Moon", and they all take place on Monday, so I wouldn't single out ancient Britons just yet...
We've all just been invited to a "priority" all-of-company meeting in 3 hours, followed up by a message from our senior manager that our team needs to attend, and will get together to discuss afterward.
I can only assume this is about huge pay rises and bonuses for everybody.

I guess the kid has had a sheltered upbringing.

i never should have doubted you
It's too bad you can't immediately launch into a "how dare you restrict this person's freedoms" tirade to highlight what gooses people like this are.
No, Monday comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "mondandaeg" which means "The Moon's Day." So you have your choice of blaming Ancient Brittons or the Moon.
On my sleeve, let the runway start
that's too confusing let's just blame Cambiata and all her book larnin'
So what you're saying is
we need to blow up the moon
it somehow always comes back to that
On my sleeve, let the runway start
That son of a bitch has it comin’
all that "i control the tides" and "good luck getting laid when i'm full" bullshit heck we don't even need it i bet
with Stonehenge, you can do both!
The moon rules, actually
a feel a mob justice comin' on

I read that book series. It ended up with a broken Earth.
I'm not seeing the downside
