Input:  Last week, I was in a meeting to address an upcoming deadline. 
 
The meeting was supposed to be extremely short and to the point. We all had other meetings afterwards. Missed deadlines could cost us millions. 

As luck would have it, our meeting ended up running late about fifteen minutes. 

When my manager asked if that was all, a coworker stood up and began talking about how his mosque was having an event to raise awareness about Islam. He even talked about post 9/11 harassment of Muslims at some point.

Normally, we wouldn't have cared- but some of us had flights to catch. Also, HR made it clear we were to never discuss religion or politics in the work place. 

We glanced to the manager, but she seemed reluctant to interrupt him. I had a client waiting and I was cutting it close. I cut him off. "Thanks! We'll let you know" 

As we began rushing towards the door, he blocked me in. 

"Will I see you there?" 

I told him I couldn't go. I had plans for St. Patrick's day. He kept trying to get me to change my plans. I said no. As he was walking away, he said a racist comment. "You're probably not even Irish, just drink like one." 

I am part Irish. Being mixed race, people making digs about my heritage has always been a sore spot for me. I shot him daggers and he cowered away. 

Due to his interruption, I was late to my next meeting. Thankfully, the client was very understanding.

After the client left, my boss asked why the meeting ran late and why I looked so frazzled. I told him about the invitation and the comments to me after. This did not sit with him. He is 100% Irish. He told me he would take care of it. 

Later that day, people from the meeting started being called in to share their version of what took place. It turned out a coworker had missed their flight by just minutes. 

The coworker eventually came by to apologize. He informed me he was worked up because he had family in New Zealand he hadn't been able to get in touch with. 

Today, he is in New Zealand. His family member was one of the victims. He doesn't know that he has a severance package waiting when he comes back. 

I feel terrible. He has a child on the way and his wife doesn't work. My boss is really well connected in the industry, so he is black listed in the state, if not the country. 

My coworkers are glad he is gone, citing that they don't get special treatments when they have a death in the family, and he shouldn't either. They also brought up that he is kind of an asshole. He's had issues before. Trying to ban pork from the break room, trying to get female dress codes changed. 

He certainly dug his own grave, but given the circumstances, I feel like his comments about the Irish is what ultimately did him in. My boss wouldn't have known if I hadn't told him. Am I the asshole? 

TL:DR coworker made me late to meeting in order to invite me to a religious event and began harassing me. I told my boss, and now he is effectively blacklisted from the industry.
