answer: #Person1# tells #Person2# that Richard asked #Person1# how long it took #Person1# to learn English but actually #Person1# was born in California. #Person2# thinks this is racist. #Person1# answered the question and asked Richard the same question, then Richard apologized to #Person1#.
documents: #Person1#: What were you and Richard talking about earlier? It looked intense.
  #Person2#: Yeah, Richard said something to me that I didn't appreciate.
  #Person1#: Oh, no. I know how insensitive he can be. What has he done now?
  #Person2#: He asked me how long it took me to learn English.
  #Person1#: But, you were born and raised in California!
  #Person2#: Yeah, but I get that sometimes. It doesn't matter how many generations my family has lived in the U. S . , we'll always be foreigners in their eyes.
  #Person1#: What a racist! How can you stand working with the guy?
  #Person2#: You know, Richard isn't such a bad guy. He made the comment out of ignorance, not malice.
  #Person1#: So, what did you say when he asked you how long it took you to learn English?
  #Person2#: I told him 28 years. And, he knows I'm 28 years old since I just celebrated my birthday last week. He was puzzled for a minute, and then he got it.
  #Person1#: Are you sure he really got the message?
  #Person2#: Yeah, I'm pretty sure since I then asked him how long it took him to learn English.
  #Person1#: That's hilarious! What did he say?
  #Person2#: He said, ' 36 years, ' and we both laughed about it. He apologized and now, it's all good.
  #Person1#: I'm glad. I bet he won't make that mistake again.
