So at work today my coworker downplayed racism as bullying. She said 

"bullying happens to everyone. It's just not right."

It came up because i mentioned a story of a friend of mine. He went out to eat with his children and someone called him a "fucking ch*nk"

she said that was bullying.

hence the definitions above.



Now...i'm no expert...not even close. 

but something just doesn't quite fit.




Another guy came in complaining that he got pulled over on the way to work. He didn't have proof of insurance on him. so he got away with a warning 

his complaint.

corworker "dammit...today had to be the day i wore my bob marley shirt." 

coworker 2 "yeah you should have worn a collar...you could have gotten off"




must be nice to live in a bubble
