    As an HR manager I came in here to tell you to report it at once, but I see that you did already. Good for you. That nurse requires some sensitivity training.

    I would not have reported the crap. I would have said something equally ignant and racist and laughed my head off, as if I was joking.

    For instance, if she was white I would have said, "girl if I can work with a cave woman I'm sure you can work with anjamima and make it through the day! :lol:

    I believe that this would have worked better to make her see her stupidity then going to HR. JMO though.

    I hear you Karmlapl, I would tell her about herself and hurt her feelings no doubt! But you certainly did the right thing going to hr, let them give her a spanking.

    Wow! People have some nerve! I'm glad you reported her as well. At the very least she needs to be more professional since she is the charge.
    BC'd 5/30! WooHooo!

    Pics coming soon.

    I'm style challenged. What am I going to do?

    I would have told her that this was rude, ignorant,a show of blatant disrespect and that she should know better. Then, I would have made the report to HR. I see why you said nothing ( remain professional) but she probably went away thinking that was okay..at least to HR talks to her. Hopefully they do.

    So Aunt Jemima wore an afro puff? I could have sworn she wore a scarf over hear head.

    @ Babylon, I probably would made some equally ridiculousy statement to attempt to show her the ignorance of her statement too but sometimes I think I give some people too much credit regarding their ability to really understand.

    I wore my hair today in an afro pony tail. My charge nurse had nerve to say "WOW I guess we are working with Anjamima today!" I said nothing. :brickwall: I am ashamed at the ignorance people display toward the black culture. I am proud of my nappy head, and that b!%@# had no right to say that. I took the issue to HR but I had to come home and tell my other nappy sisters. :Angry:

    yowsa!

    reporting it is good. but, you should make sure you document your interactions with her from here out. if you start getting moved around to different departments (esp. the undesirable ones for you), etc. that's a problem and that's retaliation and that could illegal.
