Today, my boss at my new call center job said he'd gotten complaints about me. Apparently I sound "too black" and it's "upsetting" some of our customers. I don't know what that even means, but my boss said I need to "tone it down or we're gonna have some problems". FML

That's a bit racist in the first place. And you can't help the way you sound. Your boss is a douche.

Talk about a weird comment and it wasn't all too kind. You can't control how you sound. Your boss should definitely know that

I only imagine a "too black" conversation. "Dank you for a callin' gurl or homeboy! How may i's help you all today!?"

Are you black? if so sounds like a lawsuit to me....if not then I would still file a complaint with HR just so his racism is put on record

Maybe you're using slang or Ebonics and it's not professional? I know I would be upset if someone insisted upon using slang in the workplace.

I guess race issues will never really be solved. Sorry to hear that your customers are racist a-holes :(
