So this week our company is observing Black History month and for lunch the menu is fried chicken, collard greens, grits, fried catfish.

I'm sure many think it's no big deal, I don't think it's bad. But some of my coworkers are getting all offended by it and getting vocal (within our group). And no, none of them are black.

Has this happened at any of your companies?

Your company provides lunch?
Not very healthy lunch, BTW.

But no I have never worked at a company that provided free themed lunches for their employees.

Unless the company is doing this for every race, it's a form of discrimination. Oh, never mind, black people can't be racist.
