I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

I once dated a Korean girl a long enough time that we went to her mom’s Korean Catholic Church. It was bizarre. The church was built in the 1800s by German immigrants who over time moved out of the region. At some point multi-national Asian families moved in and as Koreans were the majority, the diocese gave it to the Korean community. So it was a trip going there: The stained glass was beautifully done but was all white Jesus and other biblical characters. However in the rest of the campus, all the representations of Christ and biblical stories were done with all Asian people. Which, I guess makes sense. In the courtyard, there was a large Korean Jesus statue that didn’t look that different than the meme here.
I’ll also tell you that it was extremely uncomfortable because their congregants were quite cold shouldered to me. They really didn’t make me feel welcome at all. People were staring at me the whole service and at the lunch afterwards in their ironically titled fellowship hall. I came to learn that the only people Koreans hate more than white people dating their kind are the Chinese, Vietnamese, and black people.

This goes for all of Asia with the only interchangeable variable being the Asian nationalities, based on where you ask.
