    It’s really easy. Do they provide this for all their workers? Is this particular worker being treated to this particular gift when no one else did?

    If this was specifically provided for this worker without input from them, then it’s a problem.

    If everyone in the office gets a chocolate cake with Hennessy, then it’s fine.

    If the worker selected this treat for themselves, then it’s fine.

      Maybe they go out as a group occasionally and he always orders one. It’s most likely a thoughtful gesture but we don’t have enough info.

        Most likely it isn’t that scenario, because if it were it wouldn’t bother the dude.

        You’re inventing a scenario in which a black man is creating problems by acting upset over a thoughtful gesture. You’re making assumptions based on nothing that white people were being kind and considerate while the black person as just being an asshole about it.

        That’s not cool bro.

          I didn’t say he was being an asshole. He might be legitimately upset, or he might be posting it because he’s in on the joke.

          Like I said the first time, we don’t have enough information to say anything about this so I prefer to think he’s friends with his coworkers.

          You might be inventing drama where there isn’t any, and that’s not cool dude.

          Let’s just make up whatever story we feel like.

            You’re making up stories that imply that a black person is dishonest. You can make up whatever story you want, but I can make assumption about you the same way you’re making assumptions about the person that posted the photo.

            So I’m going to assume you’re racist against black people.

            Just making up whatever story I feel like!
