Can a sly sexual remark and a racist joke be combined into one misconduct at workplace?

If a sexual remark was made and then a sly racist joke was spoken by same person, can they be combined into the same category to get a person terminated from employment. Or are they considered separate offenses.

    Where I live, (and almost everywhere else) either one could get you fired if the employer decides to take the opportunity to do so.

    Under most circumstances your employer can fire you for any reason, regardless of any "remarks" you might have made. If you value your job, you might want to watch the "sly" commentary.

    So the Duke lacrosse gamers have been taken care of unfairly: the college had a collection of feminist professors sign a petition damning the accused, placed their faces on fliers throughout campus, and have been later sued by using those comparable scholars. the college administration, understanding that there replaced right into a subject, desperate to create an excellent better coverage wherein pals of meant sufferers can expel adult males from campus....astonishing! i think of take returned the evening at Duke would desire to easily be a bunch of ladies chasing down adult males and placing them on fire. in the event that they are out to create witch hunts, then why bypass 0.5 way. i will't wait to make certain the media frenzy while one in each of coach Ks gamers gets kicked of the college, l am involved to make certain what they could do if he threatened to bypass away. i like how ladies are purely as able as any guy, except that subject is composed of, alcohol or peer tension. Then they want somebody to be their daddy because of the fact they might't look after themselves. i hit upon it atypical that Feminists scream on the subject of the talents of ladies, yet combat to enact rules with the sexist assumption that a woman can not make certain for herself no count if or not she replaced into victimized. equivalent accountability is a factor of equivalent rights. ladies the two have an purpose equivalent to that of a guy and the psychological means to make autonomous judgements, or they are purely babies in grownup bodies. If ladies want equivalent rights they should "female up" and admit THEY made a bad determination and study from it.

    They are considered separate funny jokes, unless you're a prude.
