    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.
