When Malcom started working at the local print shop, he got along with everyone. He was a supervisor but always tried to stay friends with the people who worked for him. Soon after joining the shop, a new supervisor was hired to manage part of the shop dealing with shipments named Ginny. One day Malcom heard Ginny say a racial slur. Then Malcom started noticing little things about her behavior. He noticed that Ginny would only eat with people of her own race -and gender for that matter. He even heard her say another racial remark. He ignored her as best he could, sharing his concerns with coworkers, questioning whether a racist should be managing other people. Malcom discussed the situation with his supervisor but she did not see enough evidence to do anything about it.
