So, a Romanian lady is sharing my office space this week...

…And the conversations on the phone are hilarious.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, click the mouse blah, blah, blah. Right click blah, blah, blah the folder. Blah, blah, blah desktop, blah, blah, blah HTML.

I should be used to it being around French people, but at least I can understand about 60% of the French spoken.

blah, blah, blah click here for a demo blah, blah, blah network.

I’m easily amused today.

Keep your valuables locked up.

Be careful not to let her get near your neck.

Yeah, I met this Romanian Gypsy----I mean Roma—once. It was horrible. He taught me calculus.

The bastard! Don’t tell me he made you…differentiate. There are support groups for that; Liebnitz anonymous, for example.

That gypsy curse is horrible. I still wake up screaming because I can’t figure out the square root of negative 0

Would you be so quick to say that if the post was “So, an African-American woman is sharing my office space this week . . .?” Furthermore, there is a difference between someone who is Romanian (a national citizenship and sometimes ethnic identity for immigrants) and someone who is Roma (an ethnic group whose members live in many nations).

I’m not sure, but I think she may have eels in her hovercraft.

Have you shaken her hand yet? Did she like it?

Nurse Janice: Dr. Bob! Dr. Bob!.. this patient has lost her sense of humour. What should we do, Dr. Bob?

Dr. Bob: I’m afraid it’s terminal, Nurse Janice.

Nurse Janice: Did she suffer, Dr. Bob?

Dr. Bob: No, but the jokes she killed certainly did.

Haha, here we go.

How does she feel about adoption?

Now I have Edina stuck in my head, threatening to " . . . adopt a Romanian baby!"

Ethnic jokes based on stereotypes aren’t very amusing. I doubt you would find such a remark acceptable if it was made about sharing an office with an African American woman. Or a remark about guarding one’s anus if the person was sharing an office with a gay man, would you?

Yeah, those are gonna take some finesse to pull off. Let’s hear what you’ve got.

Of course I’d NEVER say something like that to an African American woman or gay man. What sort of person do you think I am?!

But I would warn them to secure their valuables if they are sharing an office with a Romanian.

While true, there is no ethnic stereotype that Romanians steal things. That’s the joke.

There was also another joke that started like it was going to be racist against (Romanian) Roma, but then it turned out the issue was that he was his calculus teacher.

These jokes are all jokes making fun of the stereotypes.

Exactly. It’s like the “Money for Nothing” temporary ban in Canada. When it was pointed out, and explained, that the song was making fun of the minimum wage furniture store employees and not “the little faggot with the earring and the makeup” then the decision was reversed.

Still, I’ve yet to hear the unedited version since, but stations are free to play it again if they wish.

One should always guard ones anus. You never know who is into pegging.

Aren’t Roma and Romanian two separate ethnicities anyway? So which was she – Romanian or Roma?
