Michael Scott: You'll notice I didn't have anybody be an Arab. I thought that would be too explosive. No pun intended. But I just thought, "Too soon for Arabs." Maybe next year. Um... You know, the ball's in their court.

Michael Scott: I just hated it when that guy was in here. Mr. Brown, if that was his real name. I mean, he had never met any of us before and here he was telling us how to do our thing. I just wanted- I just wanted to do it our way. You know? On our own. Man, I should have gotten some food.
Kevin: [in an Italian accent] Maybe some spagh-etti.
Michael Scott: OK, Kevin, you can take that off.

Michael Scott: That would really, really have shown him up, wouldn't it? If I'd brought in some burritos or some colored greens, or some pad Thai. I love pad Thai.
Stanley: It's collard greens.
Michael Scott: What?
Stanley: It's collard greens.
Michael Scott: That doesn't really make sense. You don't call them collared people. That's offensive.

Kelly: Um, I have a customer meeting.
Michael Scott: Well, if you leave, we'll only have two left. Yes. Enjoy. Absolutely. Namaste.

Michael Scott: Oscar, right here. You're on.
Oscar: OK, Michael. Well, both my parents were born in Mexico. And they moved to the United States a year before I was born. So I grew up in the United States.
Michael Scott: Wow.
Oscar: And my parents were Mexican.
Michael Scott: Wow. That is That is a great story. That's the American dream, right?
Oscar: Thank- Yeah.
Michael Scott: Um, let me ask you, is there a term besides Mexican that you prefer? Something less offensive?
Oscar: Mexican isn't offensive.
Michael Scott: Well, it has certain connotations.
Oscar: Like what?
Michael Scott: Like... I don't- I don't know.

Pam: If I have to do this, based on stereotypes that are totally untrue, that I do not agree with, you would maybe not be a very good driver.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, man, am I a woman?

Michael Scott: [in an exaggerated Indian accent] Kelly, how are you?
Kelly: I just had the longest meeting.
Michael Scott: Oh! Welcome to my convenience store. Would you like some googi googi? I have some very delicious googi googi, only 99 cents plus tax. Try my googi googi. Try my googi googi. Try my googi googi. Try my-
[Kelly slaps Michael in the face]
Michael Scott: All right! All right! Yes! That was great. She gets it! Now she knows what it's like to be a minority.

Michael Scott: Why don't we just defer to Mr-
Mr. Brown: Mr. Brown.
Michael Scott: Ah. Oh, right! Okay. First test. I will not call you that.
Mr. Brown: Well, it's my name. It's not a test.

Michael Scott: Today is diversity day and someone's going to come in and talk to us about diversity. It's something that I've been pushing, that I've been wanting to push, for a long time and Corporate mandated it. And I never actually talked to Corporate about it. They kind of beat me to the punch, the bastards. But- But I was going to, and I think it's important that we have this. I'm very, very excited.
