QUICK TIPS: ALWAYS REMEMBER - DIRTY WATER SEEKS ITS OWN LEVEL!

Be Professional and Courteous. Always remember that you are in the workplace and conduct yourself as such. Remember, DIRTY WATER SEEKS ITS OWN LEVEL, so don’t sink to the level of a racist, an ignoramus or other workplace cretins. You will be much better off if claims that you are unprofessional can’t be supported by your own written correspondence or verbal remarks. Don’t give people ammunition. You can be direct in your language, but don’t be juvenile or unprofessional. Do not give racist coworkers the opportunity--and proof--to allege that you are another angry, defensive, etc. Black person.
