Accidental Rascism

I had work today.

One of my managers asked me to take down the current display in the front window in order to put up a new one in honor of black history month.

I was able to pull everything from the old display save 2 large statues that we have little room in which to display elsewhere in the store. I ran upstairs to tell my manager this. He says not to worry about them.

Cool.

Well, it was until I went back downtairs. As I'm standing there looking at the window estimating about how many books I should grab for the new display, it dawns on me.

I turned to Pedro, one of my coworkers who happens to be standing nearby;

"Okay, maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I'm guessing it's not the best idea to leave the Planet of the Apes statue in the black history month display."

After he stopped laughing, he agreed.

The statue's been boxed up until we find a new home to display it.
