I have supervisors at work that are black and they talk "white" (ETA: they do it b/c they think it is funny to make fun of the way white people talk, but they do it in a nasally voice) and I think it is funny. They also "make fun of me" b/c I sometimes have a very country accent, but I don't take offense and laugh at it, b/c I know it is the truth. They also "make fun of me" b/c I don't understand ebonics...whatever the correct nomenclature is for the slang that black people use. (I'm trying to avoid offending people here so please don't get mad at me)

I think those people are being hypersensitive about the managers "making fun of them" b/c think about it, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
