A British social worker is said to have been run out of her job after absent-mindedly referring to an Asian colleague as a piece of flatbread, reports the Evening Standard.
Rebecca Miles was working at a center for victims of racism and domestic violence when she uttered the racist remark. She reportedly had been discussing the case of a Bangladeshi woman with her colleagues when she forgot the name of the interpreter and said, "It was Pamala, Popalam or Pappadam - something like that."
She was told she could keep her job only if she attended anti-racism indoctrination and wrote an essay about police racism. She refused and quit instead.
**end**
Can you imagine what would happen if she met that woman from the National Lampoon poster and that woman had hyphenated her married name to become Pauline Swallows-Cox?

Looks like the pendulum in the UK has finally reached it's left-most point if people are quitting their jobs rather than cave in to that type of insanity...
