Me: "Why? I kind of like him."
Coworker: "What? Dee de dee! That's all he says. Dee de dee!"
Me: "Are you sure you're not confusing him with Carlos Mencia?"
Coworker: "S***, man, they all look the same. Oh, wait. That sounded really racist."

Me: "Not to be racist, but I swear any time I deal with a Middle Eastern woman, she has to open the box and check on the contents."
Coworker: "Maybe she's checking it for bombs."
Me: "Okay, that's way more racist than what I said."
