Xenophobic email sent by a senior colleague. What's an appropriate reaction?
@Basic And so do I, but given how terrible it all sounds, I'm pretty sure, every single sentence was ironic. See the above comment by NotMe.

@Nobilis Speaking about xenophobia sounds like a bad joke. The sender is Latin-American and the recipient is Spanish and it happens in Germany. So who is more "xeno" there? If I received such an email, I'd laugh and laugh. Most probably the recipient is a young sporty diligent woman and the author believed that writing "old age, physical inactivity and ... indolence" was so obviously wrong that just a moron could take it seriously.

@Nobilis He did call her, but she didn't answer. Maybe he just wanted to make sure that his joke is recognized as a joke???
