At work, we had a computer screen saver called "After Dark". During a bring your daughter to work event, a coworker was showing her daughter the various screen saver examples and playing around with the settings. A black woman in our office filed an EEO complaint against my coworker based on that. Looking to stir up trouble and get a settlement type of trash.
Accusation didn't go anywhere. My coworker was one of the nicest person I have ever met. She was horrified that someone thought she was racist. I was called in as a witness, defended my friend, and called out the real racist. My friend changed after the event. From that time forward, she wouldn't say anything to anyone if a person of color was in the room. Sad.
