So,

someone googled "racist joke",
decided to include it into a presentation on how not to be racist,
decided they themselves don't want to be racist, so the joke should be told between people of different skin color, and
at no point did they get up and just walk into the woods, never to return to human society again.

That's certainly not the choices I would've made, but sure.

If it matters, explaining without excusing, this was around 2008 when I started the job, and the video, which was on an actual VHS tape, looked to be from the first half of the nineties.

Speaking of old videos from the nineties, I had jury duty a little while back.

The orientation video seemed to be from the same era, and the person on the video spoke about how we need to refrain from news on the television and newspaper, and then cut to a slide with no audio, just text stating also news on the internet or social media like facebook or myspace.
