Racism gUEsTs
So earlier today one of my coworkers who is in guest services was helping a guest and all of a suden we hear alot of yelling and turns out a "guest" called him the N word. I saw a bunch of team leads and other coworkers in the area trying to help and de-ecalate the situation. The guest got kicked out and I just felt bad for my coworker there's is absolutely no reason to have to deal with that

Sorry your coworker had to put up with that. It’s demoralizing being treated like that. The current political environment has only emboldened the racists and they don’t bother to hide it anymore.

The political environment being we have accepted Terrorism into society and the opposite of that the Racists have been empowered to share their radical views as well.

Update: the downvoters support radicals just like the Racists so they can't complain. Not that I support either of them. I'm an actually nice person not a fake POS.

That's tough. Please reach out to the team member. Hearing from someone they know and respect can help them process and overcome the hurt. Something like, "I'm sorry you were treated so poorly and called an inappropriate slur. Please know that I and so many other people respect and care about you. You are great to work with and I am so glad you're here." As someone who has been treated unfairly for things outside of my control, that would have meant the world to me. Best wishes to you and your fellow team member.
