Detroit restaurant Green Dot Stables is under fire for terminating a Black server who says she was accused of offending white coworkers with a joke about her own racial identity.

Protesters gathered at the Corktown slider oupost Monday after Christine Turner, 34, said she was let go for playfully referring to "light-skinned motherfrickers" in an exchange with a cook who was giving her a hard time. The comment, a reference to light-skinned Black people, played on a stereotype about their being "uppity," Turner said. She and the cook are both light-skinned, but white women servers in the vicinity took offense and complained of discrimination, Turner said she was told during her Saturday termination.

Good. Maybe people will start to realize how absurd this whole offended culture is.

I like how we just skip over the part where it would be completely justifiable to fire anyone for calling a coworker a "motherfricker" to begin with

The real question is, would a white waitress be fired for offending black coworkers with a 'dark skinned joke?"

How 2021...this could mean they got offended because they thought she was referring to them being light skinned since they were white, or more likely they got offended ON BEHALF of darker skinned "BIPOCs" for this hurtful language. If it wasn't for being married to one, I'd have essentially no use for white women at this point.

Hi-frickin-larious.
