I just think Cam is a very immature guy that still hasn't grown up. Maybe the sponsor drop/s will help him become an adult. |

Translation: After being rightfully reamed out in the media for my offensive and sexist comments and after losing a major commercial deal with Dannon, I'm using this opportunity to try and make amends, although I'm not sincere at all and everyone knows it. __________________

The issues are global . One thing that I think did Europe really bad joke is the overall society. I think that in USA people emigrated earlier on and as a result had to deal with racism earlier on. In Europe the process started later and I think that in most places they now have to face this and deal with this. The problem is that they do not want to admit it. Most people isolate themselves and do not even think how someone might get offended or react to something. Let me give you example. Remember this joined team that we have? Well in the French part of the team there is mix of cultures - one guy from Madagascar, one guy from China and a woman from China as well I think. All good and it's normal for people to say that they are not from France. A former co-worker had to work with the guy from China. So when she would talk about him instead of mentioning his name she would say something like "The Chinese boy" (it was not even a man). Someone jokingly told her that this is racist and she got really offended. I told her that in general they are correct. The guy would not want to be referred as "Chinese boy" because he has name. Not only she did not get how this is racist, but she also got offended when people tried to point out why this is racist. She also sometimes makes xenophobic comments that I dislike. For example when we were in Italy we saw two guys hugging each other in the public transportation. Usually when I see such things I just move along. I do not like people making out in front of me no matter the sex they have (just at some point goes into live porno territory and I feel uncomfortable) but for anything else I just see it and continue. She started commenting there, then she would mention it to everyone like it's something so unique that has to be discussed. But again she would not see how this might offend people. __________________

Do you have regulations about this in your country? For example is it normal to have dress code or stuff like that? I am just curious because I have the impression both of those things do not exist in your office. Meaning that women dress appropriately at work and men do not cross the line, but I still wanted to check with you. In Europe I would say that this is not always the case. I see both. I see men acting like a$$es and women trying to use their feminine side (in the most literal sense) to advance at work. Both for me are not OK. I am personally very uncomfortable with objectifying (meaning man to tell me that my butt looks good or stuff like that is something I do not like), but most women around me actually find this hot. In the case you mentioned most women here would see this as a compliment. Basically they think that it's great that someone finds them hot. Quote:
Part of the problem in Europe is that there women actually encourage sometimes wrong behavior. And this is why American women would be so out of place in Europe and feel like completely mistreated. A lot of stuff that European women find as normal are not normal for American women. And those women not just encourage men at work, they actually raise also their sons to behave like that. Dealing with sexism and racism happens in the family in the way the parents act and the way they raise their kids. And problem is that quite often people in Europe do not see the need to start the change. Quote:

They do take sexual harassment in the workplace very seriously here in the United States. Once a year they have someone come to our office to give us mandatory training on it. We're getting that training later this month.
