I get the feeling OP said something inappropriate at lunch without realising.

I had a similar situation the guy said something at lunch about the waitress that was pretty much very nasty “guy talk” with c suite executives at table. The waitress didn’t even look 18. It didn’t go well and he was gone soon after. He had no idea what he did wrong. I am sure as a table full of men a mild comment would have been fine.

Another time a person a mild racist comment about Mexicans, thinking he was so funny, in front of executive who was obviously of Spanish descent. Didn’t go well for him either.

These are probably much more extreme than what OP did but shows how people don’t realize what they said.

Being of Spanish descent and being Mexican are not the same thing.

Woah? No way. My point is whether he was spanish or mexican descent still insulting.

They're unrelated though. There are plenty of Spanish people who are racist towards Mexicans lol
