    I suspect you just worked with an asshole who thought you were a fellow asshole.

    Nah mate. We’re Australian. You wouldn’t understand.

      My guy, even you thought he crossed the line. You actively chose to believe it was banter. That does not guarantee it was.

      I understand what it’s like for bigots to look at you and assume you’re on their side. It feels friendly. It’s intended as friendly. It’s still bigotry. They’re telling jokes - but they’re not joking.

        I never said he said anything bigoted or offensive. It was so long ago that I can’t even remember exactly the sort of thing he said, to be honest, but I seem to recall they were more weird than offensive.
