“I work at one of these places that’s so woke it’s kinda racist,” the joke reads in part. “Like this lady asked my boss, she’s like ‘Yo, does Jad consider himself a person of color?’ because she was making a list of us. Fucking hell? Sick, alright. I get to be in this lady’s brown dude Pokédex.”

    This is widespread, one of the Amazon building coordinators I met at one of my old jobs pointed to one of her employees across the room and referred to him as “that brown guy”. My coworker was completely silent so I simply reiterated “that brown guy” and she briefly tried to laugh it off then acted busy again and left. At least it made her stop talking to us about how she hadn’t prepared for the event.
