Dwight: A few of the ground rules? Get in the cards! Hold on one second. Kevin: It was kind of hard to hear. Let's take a look at the tape. Michael: With tolerance. OK.
[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael: How come Chris Rock can do a routine and everybody finds it hilarious and ground-breaking and then I go and do the exact same routine, same comedic timing, and people file a complaint to Corporate? On our own. So everybody has a different race. They kind of beat me to the punch, the bastards. [Laughing] He's going to lose it when he reads that. [SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: Uh... Not a bad day. [SCENE_BREAK]
Jim: [Pam is asleep, resting her head on Jim's shoulder] Um... Hey.
Plan: A: Michael; Q: Who creates his own diversity seminar? A: a racial diversity seminar; Q: What does Michael's imitation of Chris Rock force the staff to undergo? A: A consultant; Q: Who is Larry Wilmore? A: his own knowledge; Q: What does Michael insist on imparting to the staff?

A: Jim; Q: Who struggles to keep hold of a contract extension? A: a lucrative contract extension; Q: What does Jim struggle to keep hold of? A: Dwight; Q: Who makes the sale for himself? A: Pam; Q: Who falls asleep on Jim's shoulder at the end of the meeting? Summary: Michael's controversial imitation of a Chris Rock routine forces the staff to undergo a racial diversity seminar. A consultant (guest star Larry Wilmore ) arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity, but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge, aggravating both the consultant and the entire office staff, and creates his own diversity seminar. He eventually assigns each staff member an index card with a different race on it, causing tempers to slowly simmer until they finally snap. Meanwhile, Jim struggles to keep hold of a lucrative contract extension, but Dwight makes the sale for himself. Nevertheless, when Pam falls asleep on Jim's shoulder at the end of the meeting, he concludes that it was "not a bad day."
