Also, I can tell from the downvotes that people don't realize I'm not condemning the sign, and saying that true xenophobia at the onset might have spared the world from this outbreak.


Dude, it’s the OT. No one cares about that stuff. If upvotes are what you are looking for, just fall in line and say that George’s is now your favorite restaurant bc they put up a sign that might offend a lib.

Haha. I'm more worried about reading comprehension than votes, it's just that the votes indicate a failure to receive the message.

I used to study at Garden District Coffee and I’d imagine this wouldn’t fly well with their patrons.

Like schools named after confederate generals will there be demands to change the name of the 1918 “Spanish” flu pandemic ?

Will eat at George’s next time I can.

Most of George's customer base doesn't care that he said China Virus. This was probably some purple haired hipster that got offended but had never stepped foot in there before.


This is accurate.

As always, the outrage is from a group of perpetually offended lunatics who have never stepped foot inside the business, but claim they were regulars who are boycotting so they can score those sweet, sweet Facebook virtue signaling points.

frick them. Keep it up. The actual customers do not care.

If a place has good food and good customer service, I'll be a customer. I couldn't care less what a manager or owner believes, or what they choose to do in their own time.

I like how all like to preface it with "lifelong customer but no more!" most of them are likely full of shite but they think that lead in gives the statement more weight.

Why is saying where a virus came from political?

They only alienated maybe 5% of their base

A vocal minority of little bitches.

Why is this controversial? The virus is from China. I’m not blaming the Chinese people as a whole. I blame their corrupt, communist government for not having both contained this or having any sort of regulated health standards that could have prevented this. Either they did it purposefully or they were negligent in adequately responding.

So calling it a “China virus” should not be considered a controversial statement.
