Eileen: I’m really sorry. Please don’t Be offended. I didn’t Intend to insult you. I know that you’re from Ireland. It was just a joke.
Colin: It may be just a joke to you, but it’s getting a little old to me. I already have A tough time fitting in as an outsider in this company, and I’m really tired of being The butt of jokes around here. Besides, Ethnic jokes reinforce Stereotypes.

Eileen: You’re right. We’re all being a little Insensitive. As far as I’m concerned, it won’t happen again.
Colin: I Accept your apology and I’ll Take you at your word.
Eileen: Can we Shake and be friends again?
Colin: Yeah, sure. I guess so.
