Hi I could do with a second opinion on this please. I volunteer at a social club for individuals with disabilities & there is a voluinteer there who uses foul lanuage in front of & towards the members today for example she said 'that lasagne is taking the f*cking piss' in front of at least 3 members & a carer she has been told about her language before but has not toned it down. She has also used homophobic language in the past. Me & another volunteer were having a cig & she came & sat with us we were discussing the recent horrific murder of a Turkish woman & she said 'that's one less p*ki' the volunteer pointed out that she was Turkish for one & for another it doesn't matter where she was from no one deserves to die the way she did she then went onto say that she has Jamaican neighbours & said ' I know he was black but f*ck me they are something else' & that she couldn't understand a word they say. I rang the kind of manager & told her what had been said & her reaction was that she is a good worker & does a great job in the kitchen!! She said they will give her a verbal warning & warn her about her future conduct. This is not good enough in my opinion & have decided that I cannot continue volunteering somewhere that condones racism I feel it would be a sackable offence in a paid job & it knocks me sick that she will only get a warning am I over reacting by leaving?
