Um, I'm actually gonna have to call you back.

Thank you. Come on, people, let's get 'em in.

You know what? This is a color-free zone here.

Stanley, I don't look at you as another race.

Uh...see, this is what I'm talking about.

We don't have to pretend that we're color-blind.

That's fighting ignorance with more ignorance. And tolerance.

Uh, instead, we need to celebrate our diversity.

You know what? Here's what we're gonna do.

Actually, I'd prefer not to start that way.

Michael, I would love to have your permission

And it would also help me if you were seated.

that you found offensive in the workplace.

A few other ground rules, just real quick.

Plus, a lot of other races are also intolerant of gays.

Okay, first test. I will not call you that.

Well, it's my name. It's not a test, okay?

I've noticed that many of you wrote down the same incident,

which is ironic, because it's the exact incident

Come on people, let's get 'em in. Get in the cards! Get in the cards!

Thank you. Thank you very much. OK. Thanks for filling these out and I promise this'll be quick. At Diversity Today, our philosophy is about honesty and positive expectations. We believe that 99% of the problems in the workplace arise simply out of ignorance.

You know what? This is a color-free-zone here. Stanley, I don't look at you as another race.

Uh, see this is what I'm talking about. We don't have to pretend we're color-blind.

That's fighting ignorance with more ignorance.

Right. Exactly. Uh, instead, we need to celebrate our diversity.

Celebrate good times. Come on! Let's celebrate diversity. Right?

Yes, exactly. Now here's what we're going to do. I've noticed that...

You know what? Here's what we're going to do. Why don't we go around and everybody... everybody say a race that you are attracted to sexually. I will go last. Go.

Actually, I'd prefer not to start that way. Michael, I would love to have your permission to run this session. Can I have your permission?

Thank you very much. And it would also help me if you were seated.

Thank you. OK. Now, at the start of the session, I had you all write down an incident that you found offensive in the workplace. Now, what I'm going to do is choose one and we're going to act it out.

Hey, hey why don't you run it by me and I'll run it by him.

I'm sorry. It's an orientation. It's not a race. Plus a lot of other races are intolerant of gays, so...paradox.

Ah. Oh, right! OK. First test. I will not call you that.

Well, it's my name. It's not a test. OK? Um, so looking through the cards, I've noticed that many of you wrote down the same incident, which is ironic, because it's the exact incident I was brought in here to respond to. Now, how many of you are familiar with the Chris Rock routine? Very good. OK.
