I've worked in a facility as one of just a couple white guys, and not once in all my frustrations there did I ever think to utter that word, or anything even bordering on that. That as a twenty something that didn't know better when it came to a lot of things.

So yeah, it definitely takes a certain mindset to be a guy in your late forties who actually should know better to let that word be uttered openly by yourself in such a setting and then not think enough of it to not revisit it and own up to it afterward.

This is exactly why an apology straight to the individual/s involved is absolutely pertinent, and not just your current boss. It's not normal behaviour and that needs to be recognized. There's simply nothing that justifies it, even if it was due to situational frustration. A decade removed or not. It clearly still is playing on Aliu's mind.
