IT’S NOT FUNNY CAMPAIGN Derogatory comments and jokes which attempt to “poke fun” at people based on their religion, ethnic group, race, ability status, sexual/gender identification, or any perceived differences have one thing in common – they are NOT FUNNY. These comments can be said casually, but perpetuate harmful stereotypes and create an unsafe working environment.
Words hurt. Be an upstander. Help call people up by pointing out how their words can have lasting and negative impact on others. Redirect those making inappropriate comments to focus on shared values and empathy. Interrupt early. Be a role model.
