We have this HR manager at my company, and I wondering if anything could be done about some of his actions.

I have heard him use very disturbing language when it comes to minorities. He has said to me on one occasion that we do not need to hire any "n*ggers" at this company because we already have some. (At that time, he was referring to two middle-eastern co-workers). He went on talked about how he would hire a black guy if he ever saw a resume that fit "his qualifications".

During one phone interview I was in, the candidate was a black guy, and through the whole interview process the HR guy was pretty much doing the stereo-typical black attitude. Like puffing out his lips, folding his arms like he was a Run DMC. Then at the end of the interview he pretty much folded the candidate's resume into a paper airplane and threw it into the trash.

Anyway this is just really bothering me that someone like this could be a Human Resource manager at a large company.

Should I just stay out of this, since it's not effecting my ladder in the company? Although if I pissed him off or anything, I'm sure things will not go well for me. He is HR so do I want to rock the boat?
