Is it now socially acceptable for white people to say the n word?

48. As others have said, report it to "someone"

Upper management, HR, someone. It is not ok, and I can absolutely guarantee that you aren't the only one who is uncomfortable or afraid to speak up.

Years ago I worked for a company that was 80 - 90% male (a military supply subcontractor), and there were no women in supervisory / managerial roles.

I was getting coffee one day and one of the managers rolled up behind me in his chair and ran his hand up the back of my leg (from ankle to upper thigh). I slammed the pot down, told him he was not allowed to touch me and went straight to my manager & told him what happened..............primarily to cover my own ass, because if he had dared to touch me again, I would have likely punched him dead in the face.

Within an hour, other women started going to management telling their stories of this man touching them (a couple had even had their breasts grabbed / fondled) or rubbing himself against them as he walked by. They had all been afraid to speak up -- because of the male dominated environment -- but because someone "broke the ice" they all started to come forward.

Be the one who breaks the ice.
