Apparently it is racist just to call someone Black.

But progs told me that being color blind is racist. Now noticing color is racist too.

No matter what you're screwed.

Far worse to be described by a (misspelled) physical characteristic than to have the staff deliver your sandwich to someone else? Good Lord.

People are whiners.

Racist receipt in Opelousas


On the one hand, we're now told that it's impossible to have a color blind society, and in fact even attempting to do so is some form of systemic issue which hurts minroties.

We're also told to chant "Black Lives Matter."

So...a restaurant owner does what he's told, and does in fact see this family first and foremost as BLACK, since to be color blind is now seen as bad, and he uses the term he's expected to use when chanting the as prescribed by the party orthodoxy, and it's still wrong.

At some point the rest of us are going to understand there IS NO right way to act here, because all situations are set up as decision dilemmas whereby either choice is wrong. As such, there is no reason to ever apologize.

It was a warning to the staff to not expect a tip

Wait until I get a receipt that says old bald guy. That restaurant is going to pay dearly for describing me so accurately.

Not racist.

"It is with a humble heart I come to you asking for grace and forgiveness on behalf of myself, my family and all my staff due to an employee who not only used poor judgment when identifying a customer for our internal ordering system, but created pain and hurt feelings," wrote owner Michael Fontenot on Facebook. "I have a zero tolerance policy regarding any discriminatory behavior, and while I believe the sincere remorse expressed to me by the server, the action was still a violation of those expectations and will be disciplined, up to and including termination," added Fontenot. "Further, this experience has shown a need to re-engage my staff in trainings and effective immediately, staff will only use customer names in the system, which is already a universal standard."


What the hell was discriminatory?

What an overreaction.

This shite is so ridiculous. Is black not the color of their skin? Is it not the best adjective to lead off with when trying to describe said family? Wtf is wrong with people.

I feel very bad for that waitress. It was probably busy as frick in there. She was probably running around like a headless chicken trying to get everyone's order, and take care of people. So she puts a simple, harmless, non-racist description on their order so she could easily locate them and get them their food.


...and now she is getting fired, ostracized, and humiliated for it. During a time when the gov't is/has been actively making it hard for people to work no less.

Honestly I'd fire that server for behind dumb.

But yes, on one hand we are being told to not be color blind. Still, you could just say family by the window and leave it at that.


Or number your fricking tables, or have them get a number after ordering.
