Today, my extremely racist coworker was doing his usual thing. Since it was 9/11 he went absolutely hardcore on his "jokes" so I reported it to my supervisor. She asked what did he say specifically and I recited it to her. She decided to write me up for "making inappropriate comments at work". FML

No, no, no. You need to take this higher up and fight this. Tell them what really happened.

If you got written up for repeating it, hopefully he got fired for saying it.

Report it to your hr department, in the us, the hr departments exsist to solve problems such as this.

although I find most jokes funny, even dead baby, 9/11, and Holocaust jokes, I think by OP bringing up the coworker being racist in connection with 9/11, he was making racist remarks about one of two things, 1.) Racist Middle Eastern remarks, as the attackers on 9/11 were of such race or 2.) He might be Middle Eastern himself and was making remarks about the victims of 9/11 deserving to die because the majority were not Middle Eastern (I can attest to the fact that there are some that have this viewpoint as I've personally met some.) Either way, there is a big difference between a joke and racist remarks, if his remarks were indeed dictating stereotypes, or worse, of different races then he should be reported. Outdated and disgusting beliefs that separate us as human beings only continues to hold us back in every way as a species.

1) it's time to find a new job 2) when you get a writeup, you have a chance to respond to it in writing. Just point out that the supervisor told you to repeat what a coworker said. Years later when going through your employment file they will see the writeup and the response and either ignore it or throw it out. Also, keep a copy of this in the event of a wrongful termination suit.

Op. Lay on your side in a comfortable position. Glove your hand. Reach back and remove that stick from your @$$. It's just a joke, quit being such a pretentious brown-noser.

HR, and see if you can get some other coworkers to agree to back you up by stating things they've heard him say. It definitely sounds like that supervisor has it out for OP, though. The other option is that they're somehow honestly dumb enough to think writing OP up for repeating something after they demanded OP do so, makes some kind of clown sense.

She either has a problem with you, or she's actually that stupid. Neither of these things are great.
