If one does not know a person's ethnicity or nationality, then it is ok to ask the person, rather than just assume... . However, I think it was Don's tone of voice along with other previous complaints that might have led to his firing. This was the straw that broke the 🐫 🐪 🐫 back. I wish Don good luck with whatever career or career path he pursues.

[@margaretmcphearson451]

In my opinion, if Don's tone had been different, he would not have been fire. It is ok to ask a person's ethnicity/nationality for clarification purposes- NEVER assume. .

Then the question is if Whites aren't receptive to Black people's point of views or the truth of Black people's history/life, why bother to hire Black people? Also, the aforementioned doesn't mind Black people being berated on their stations, or other venues. However they're annoyed or upset when Black people defend each other at their companies, and are uncomfortable due to Black people's plight on domestic and foreign soil. This is 2023 where's the so called diversity, which is a crock of ish. The situation with Mr. Lemon is a perfect example of the hypocrisy.
