I have a strange relationship with my boss/business partner. He’s 25 years my senior, and he pays my wages, yet we also have a level of friendship too, in that, we could talk about anything to each other really. I used to think this was a good thing – it makes us awesome business partners – but lately it’s become really divisive.
He’s a racist. He tried to hide it at first, because he knew how disgusted I was a the racism I observed in the midwest. He tried to pretend that people in the midwest are racist and backward, but people like him are forward-thinking and fair. But over time, I’ve noticed that he is extremely racist; possibly the most racist person I’ve ever met. He can’t talk about somebody of a different race for ten seconds without saying something derogatory about their skin colour or culture.
It all culminated last night, when we were talking about a Pakistani guy we both know. He called him a “lizard brained Indian,” and went on to say that no white woman would ever date an Indian man unless she was a whore. I let him have it. I told him he was a nasty, evil, revolting excuse for a human being, and never to subject me to such disgusting words ever again. Now I’m getting email after email of him ridiculously trying to justify himself, and saying that I refuse to listen to any other opinion outside of my own. I admitted that when it comes to statements like his, damn right, I don’t have time for his “opinion.”
I’d rather drop it, move on, and sure, my opinion of him will suffer a massive blow. But he won’t drop it. He won’t quit emailing me about it… whining, crying, pathetic emails. Is this all men are? It doesn’t matter what age, social status or income, they all amount to the same thing: over-emotional, pathetic, wimpy immature little boys?
I’m so sick of it. I need a female business partner.
