Is it offensive for a white male manager to call other men, "buddy" (especially his black subordinate)? What if I told you this was in Georgia?

That does make it easier to hate the other side and do crazy stuff like storming the capitol when you view the other side as “evil”.
I was no where near the Capital.
Were you burning cities and destroying businesses in Minneapolis and Portland, or should I just place you there?
Twat. As in: “Hey you twat, come help me with this wouldja?” It is some times coupled with waffle. As in: “You’re such a twat waffle.”
It’s a term of endearment. Don’t be offended by it if you come to Ioway.
He's looking for a payday, and because the world's gone crazy he will get one.
Capitol and no, I wasn’t involved in any burning or looting of cities or businesses. It’s is wrong to do that although I understand why people were upset back then. It’s funny that you guys think it was “the democrats “ that were rioting. Part of the narrative.
Well, since 90+ percent of African-Americans identify as democrats, I think it's a pretty safe bet that BLM rioters were overwhelmingly comprised of democrats.
You can tell just by loooking at them if they had fathers and what their political party is. I think you covered that here before.
Assuming your data is accurate, what percent of the black population is registered to vote?
Were the BLM riots mostly black people? Therefore they must all be democrat? Making sure I have the logic right.
That's a very realistic and accurate analogy of typical boss and workplace environment....
That's not just a Southern thing. What you described is common everywhere and in the example you gave is not demeaning or condescending. We are discussing a workplace environment, and although not very much context was given, I assume is a case where a boss is avoiding addressing a subordinate by his preferred name, in which case I don't blame him for going to HR, although as I stated earlier, I don't see any EEOC discrimination, although I could see the minority trying to make a case of it if he has a traditionally black name. I would call this thing just plain 'ole workplace hostility/harassment.
I could easily see a discrimination claim if the boss singles out the black guy as “Buddy” and calls everyone else their preferred name.
That’s the entire issue in a nutshell right there.
