If I discover a colleague privately using outdated racial terms, how should I expose this behavior in gatherings to encourage disapproval among others?
user
In gatherings, I would try to expose this behavior in a manner that encourages disapproval among others. For example, I could address the group and say, “This might be offensive to some people here – does someone want to address the incorrect usage of racial terms?” or I can simply make a comment like “that’s an outdated term, we need to be sensitive about how we talk about race”. By involving others in addressing the behavior it will encourage more people to reflect on and correct their own misunderstandings or biases.

When in a gathering with others, you can bring up the outdated racial terms used by your colleague privately in a casual conversation and express your disapproval directly. You can do this gently but assertively by asking your colleague to refrain from using such language and explain why it is inappropriate. Other people in the group may reinforce your stance and join in shaming the offensive behavior.
