A "Racial Tolerance and Diversity in the Workplace" seminar is anything but harmonious when Michael, ignoring the fact that his own inappropriate behavior necessitated the workshop, undermines the consultant.

Quotes

• Dwight: Retaliation. Tit for tit.

Jim: That is... not the expression.

Dwight: Well, it should be.

• Michael: Abraham Lincoln once said that, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North." And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.

• Pam: Ok, if I have to do this. Based on stereotypes that are totally untrue and that I do not agree with, you would, maybe, not be a very good driver.

Dwight: Oh man, am I a woman!?

• Michael: If I'd brought in some burritos, or some colored greens, or some phad Thai. I love phad Thai.

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael: What?

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael: That doesn't really make sense. Because you don't call them collard people. That's offensive.
