I have two guys who work in the machine shop here, an older black guy
who knows everything possible about machining and a younger guy who
sorta gets by. They work well together and are friends. We were
talking about where to go for lunch and the young guy asked 'Wanna go
get Chinese food", "No, we did that last week". Then he asks, "How
about some N*gg*r food". Total silence as the rest of us were
shocked. Then he says "Oh, never mind".
What should I do?

It's your business?

I'd take him aside and tell him that language isn't acceptable. Then have
him apologize to the black guy.
I'd document the meeting just in case something came of this problem in
the
future.... you may not have to enter it in the young guys file, but it
should be at hand.

Funny, though, it's ok for some young black people to use that language
among themselves, but no whiteboy had better try it.

I've got a black neighbor who frequently has friends and family over
for parties, I'm always invited. I've never heard any of them ever
utter the word. And they don't call white people names either. He does
however, have a very logical explanation as to why some urban types do
use that word. But, again, it's logical, so it'd be wasted on all of
the Harryclones.

Thanks for making my point about something logical being wasted on you
Harryclone puppies.
