Colorfully Obscene

(I and some of my coworkers are having a chat, when someone mentions a famous gay celebrity.)

Coworker #1: “Don’t mention that [homophobic slur] in my presence! It’s better to talk about [Black Celebrity].”

Coworker #2: “Don’t mention that [racial slur] in my presence!”

(A new coworker looks shocked, so I explain.)

Me: “[Coworker #1] is black, [Coworker #2] is openly gay, and both have the same bad sense of humor.”
