    Two weeks ago, I saw the loner at the table of an event. Went to go talk to them because they were alone for a while.

    In less than 10 minutes, they made a offensive joke that would have insulted half the people here, and complained about their living situation unprompted.

      Idk why in imagining them telling a version of the aristocrat’s and then saying, “So anyway, that’s my roommates.”

        The guy made a comment about women and minorities about if I was just trying to meet a DEI quota.

        He said this to me, a person of color, at a tech event where according to the census, 60% of Engineers are white.

          Maybe he is a want to be racist. Not actually racist enough to avoid you but racist enough to make nasty jokes.

            You know something that often gets overlooked about bigoted “humor”, is how predicable and tiring it it. Even if it wasn’t inherently offensive, it’s not funny.

              Yeah that shouldn’t be surprising. When you make a joke that puts people down it is rarely funny unless you hold certain beliefs.
