initially i was biting my tongue when i heard the new guy saying some iffy shit. that ended after about five minutes when he got more and more overt, and i had to say "quit the plausible deniability racist bullshit, it's not funny and no one wants to hear it. it's obvious you're testing the waters to see if anyone else will join in, but that shit doesn't fly here".

and then later on new guy #2, friend of new guy, was like. "that was kinda harsh, he felt really bad." ok? maybe he shouldn't have sat down at a table of his new coworkers, half of whom were visibly ethnic minorities, and been blatantly racist. this very much sounds like not my issue.
