Last i checked, most places have an anti-racist language rules in place, and whilst slack may not be subject to all the rules, i'd imagine that one still pertains.

Let me grant you your premises for the sake of argument.  In what way was what I said racist?

You used a big ol' racial slur? A word that's inherently racist because of it's origins, and i doubt will ever be not racist when used by anybody who doesn't fit into the group it's aimed at? 

As i said before, i don't think you're racist at all, but you should have known better, and this argument shouldn't even be happening. I don't know if you're trying to save face or something, but it's really backfiring. 

As i was saying. You give someone an inch on this kind of thing, you'll have someone else making some really racist statements and then just going "oh it's a joke", meaning that if you punish them, they could pull up this case, if it went the way you want it to, and be like "Oh why are the staff being biased". You gotta be zero tolerance with things like racism. Shit sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, friend.


EDIT (Just for the sake of saving some problems down the line, i'm off to work now, so if i don't reply, i'm not ignoring anyone, i'm just at work till around 7pm my time).
