S1E2 · Diversity Day

Complete story — includes the ending

Michael's controversial imitation of a Chris Rock routine forces the staff to undergo a racial diversity seminar. A consultant named Al Brown (guest star Larry Wilmore ) arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity, but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge, aggravating both Al 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."
