>But is it malicious? Almost certainly not.

I realize I made a throw away account just to post this, but try reflecting shop talk back to white men with white stereotypes

They often can't take the shit they give out. You won't know who's-who until you get undermined behind your back and they start fucking with your work

The insecure ones blend in with the ones who can actually take the shit they give and it's the collective support of giving shit to non-white men in the trades that's the problem

It's high school bullies trying to present as it being all in good fun when it rarely is

It's never in fun. I don't mind a good razzing. But when it's constant or every day or you're the only one razzed because people like laughing at your no nonsense attitude when you get riled up at their stupidity it's like living in a courtroom of idiocracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfifauG93ZU
