New guys at work, not particularly trying to fit in, but tracking in an unsightly amount of unexamined white geekboy privilege and assumptions.

Ick.

Could be worse.
At least these aren't executing daily discussions on capping asses and who they fought or why they're so great in the tech world (except they're working on a help desk, and not doing that stellar of a job at it), etc etc etc.?

I've experienced somewhat of that here. My immediate coworker seems pretty damn cool, I've slipped a few photos of myself in things like eyeliner so far, let him in on the fact that I run with "strange" crowds (as is stereotypically considered), and he seems cool with it...

Now a lot of the other "older" coworkers? Eh, probably not so much...

And I feel quite out of place that I'm the only one who didn't get whipped in to a frenzy recently when someone mentioned football season starting...

They should make a doormat to catch that shit. You can never quite get it out of the carpets.

They have to learn from somewhere...

Sometimes, I think it was living in Europe, that taught me to be open-minded. My friends accept me as I am, so I returned the feelings. It comes down to my Mom. Back in the 60s, she met and married a Mexican. The last family reunion, she still got shit for that. My Mom, taught me to be tolerant of other's feelings... they'll eventually will die;) As they die out, we can take over.
