There were the usual costumes except a white woman (i am black) wore black face. I reported it to HR and was overheard by the lady in black face, she immediately went to the restroom and washed it off. The next day i was called into the HR office and was written up for harassment.
When reporting to HR the day before i mentioned i would get bashed if i did something similar. Their interpretation of bashed was that i was harassing the lady in black face. I explained that my definition of bashed = being ridiculed, not physical harm
They still proceeded to write me up
