Cloaking Racism

From the Chicago Tribune: "Tomeika Broussard thought it was so absurd when she overheard her supervisor refer to her as a 'reggin' that she just laughed. Then she realized that it was the n-word spelled backward." According to federal officials, complaints of workplace racial harassment involving coded words and images are on the rise, including but not limited to "you people," "Cornelius" (the ape character in the movie "Planet of the Apes"), and "Bruce Lee" (used by an employee when referring to his foreman who was of Italian and Chinese ancestry).
