I've always enjoyed my fellow liberals getting their "Europe is a liberal haven" delusion crushed when they go for their semester abroad. I try and tell em that the US is more open minded than Europe but they won't believe me.
Bitch about how racist and intolerant the US is (it is). Declare that they're going to Europe to get away from it. Decide to go to Spain or Italy (its worse there). Are very confused when they arrive there to find the attitudes to be worse.
Ameridumbs haven't even heard about Lega Nord. The Southeners are basically Arabs themselves. The only reason they hate brown people is because they are illegal immigrants begging on the popular tourist beaches.
oh well goddammit, I am from the south and it's racist af what is he fucking talking about. I thought he meant yankee as in american, not yankee as in northerner
/u/stoptalkingok dont call me a yankee you piece of shit, I'm from Texas, and thus better than whatever piece of shit southern state you are from (unless, obviously, it's texas). The south is not 60% black, either.
The spicier thing doesn't necessarily indicate racism against cumskins, could just be they're scurred they can't handle it and want them to actually enjoy their meal
Some people have somehow lost the ability to take things in good faith. Why immediately presume the worst? They smell blood in the water and pounce. It's not even about righting an injustice, it's just about tearing other people down.
I wouldn't presume anything, other than the possibility of a mistake, I'd try and talk to the owners first and judge afterwards. I replied to /u/LordBlackmore because I agree with his sentiments.
No shit. Having the knowledge that it was a mistake means people can circlejerk about how obviously they wouldn't read the sign and take it at its word when that's what any normal person does when they read a sign on the window of a business
No, no normal person would think "Hey, these guys are not only risking litigation but also plainly asking to lose said litigation" unless they were actually significantly developmentally delayed.
A normal person would think "Holy shit what the fuck? Either these people got trolled, got pranked, are trying to get firebombed for the insurance, are actually literally blind, or don't speak English."
No, no normal person would think "Hey, these guys are not only risking litigation but also plainly asking to lose said litigation" unless they were actually significantly developmentally delayed.
I think you may be the one who's developmentally disabled if you honestly think that an average person starts thinking about litigation when they see a sign like that, especially in fucking South Carolina.
Most people, which is evidenced by the initial outrage, take the sign at face value like you would any other sign.
Because it's a felony for an employee to discriminate by race, so this sign opens them up to a ridiculous amount of litigation, let alone the social stigma. There is no reason a business owner would do something that egregious intentionally, unless they are unbelievably stupid.
Prolly walk in and be like "hey that shit is illegal, what the fuck dude" even if their english was shit i think i could a) figure out what was going on and b) fix the goddamn sign
I'd probably assume that they didn't have great English and didn't know what the sign meant, and maybe poke my head in to let them know before something like this happens.
But hey, these beacons of social justice just assume every immigrant is fluent in English. Do you reckon they have a flow chart of which ones get more of a "pass" on slip ups like this?
The funny thing is that they bought the sign on eBay, so somebody out there is doing a brisk trade in "No Minorities" help wanted signs. Why don't they go hassle him, instead of the poor restaurant owner?
I'm loving that like, you can't put this sign up in any actual hiring situation, so there is a brisk trade in no-minorities Help Wanted signs for the most superior type of White person to put up in their mother's basement and fap to.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
Controversy over a "Help wanted" sign at a restaurant in Spartanburg, South Carolina is causing problems for the business' employees.
Servers said a woman who posted a photo of the sign on social media went into the restaurant on Saturday.
The new sign reads: "Dear Customers. I am the owner Sue. I am really sorry for the sign that posted. I didn't know what it meant. After I know, I took it off immediately. English is not my first language. And I never thought about it again. I sincerely apologize for."
African-American customers stopped by the restaurant Monday morning to read the apology posted on the window. They told McCormick that they won't eat at the restaurant again.
... But why? Like, surely there are so many actual battles to fight and companies to boycott that are actually being bigoted intentionally. Why bother wasting any time or energy on this now that it's clear it was an innocent mistake?

White people may think they are the top, but the best at fucking minorities is other minorities.
n/a PhysicsIsMyMistress 2017-02-01
Minorities were a mistake
n/a atakeonhooper 2017-02-01
The big reaction was partly because every ethnic minority knows that the most racist people aren't white. They're Asian.
I feel terrible for this family, but it's really really funny.
n/a wwyzzerdd 2017-02-01
I've always enjoyed watching the hierarchy of hate manifest while standing in line at the Chinese takeout.
You can sit back and watch the rapid change in demeanor of the Asian staff depending on the race of the customer.

n/a atakeonhooper 2017-02-01
i had a friend who went to Spain. She was a black woman.
Big mistake. At one point someone in the street just spat on her shoes.
I had another black lady friend who went to Italy. She fucking killed it. They like American girls there, apparently, no matter the color.
n/a lukas8u 2017-02-01
interestingly enough i totally spit balled the Italian example. My friend whose having problems is in spain.

I think they're still pretty racist, tbqh. Especially in the south.
Just like in America!

Of course, that just opens a whole new can of jokes.

Over here in most of Georgia it sure the fuck is. Maybe you should stop hanging out with racists you fucking redneck.

First off, I will be honest and say that if you cant live in Texas, Georgia is the second best one...so...you win there.
Secondly, I'm actually a black dude, lol. But at this point I feel so retarded because of my misreading above I'm just gonna stop arguing.

The way you bypass this if you want food to reach full spicy potential is telling them "how your mother makes it" when they ask how spicy you want it.
