Make sure you say where someone is from that way you can judge how upset you should be about their comments.
The above suggestion is a shame. It appears to be a victim “woke” mentality.
Is it possible Bloomberg was describing where the individual was from for reasons outside what you suggest?

> Navneet Govil, told a Mormon employee to “go back to Utah to get more wives.” The employee left the company. Via a spokesman, Govil denies making such a statement. Around that time, Govil also berated a young accountant in front of a group, bringing her to tears. She later quit. And at a work lunch a few months later with several colleagues, Govil remarked that “Chinese people sound stupid,” according to two people who heard the comment. Via a spokesman, Govil denies making such a statement or berating the employee; SoftBank says it has no record of these events.
