"Chinese people eat dogs"
"Romanians are eating the swans in the park" (I kid you not)
"Black people don't want to do animation"
"Maybe women just aren't good at directing"
"I'm sorry hear hear your phone got stolen, was the thief black?"

Male colleague to a female colleague (in the pub after work) "I'm going to watch what you drink because you need to function tomorrow"
White male colleague "I can't catch a break because I'm not BAME, me and a friend are going to pretend we're gay so we can get funding"

Oh and I am also remembering coming to one studio and having another new female colleague having to REQUEST A SANITARY BIN because so few women had worked there before, they had no idea we would need a bin in the toilet.
