After all, it's in the Racial Issues section, so presumably you're fine with this post here. Or will you continue to delete this post without warning or explanation?
POLITICALLY CORRECT BULLSHIT. It's also one reason why I like living in Thailand, there is very little of this PC horseshit.
I find it ironic you don't have the balls to use your real username.
"In the settlement agreement, Coca-Cola denied the allegations, but agreed to make sweeping changes to its personnel policies and procedures."
They did what they HAD to do to keep it from happening again, that's it.
As far as the restaurant owner, what was he supposed to do? Should he let customers talk shit to his wife and children, ruining his business in the future? Or should he simply change tact and attempt to attract a "better" clientele?
There's a reason why I don't live in the US anymore - if I were the restaurant owner I would have bashed the guys head in calling my wife a bitch. Be it with my hands or a baseball bat, it doesn't matter. Because of all this PC garbage a guy can come into a restaurant and say what he wants, contribute to ruining the business, and the owner is supposed to sit back and allow it? f**k that. The guy is lucky he didn't catch a beating.
I will never forget going out with my sister and her friends after being out of the US for four or five years. We go out to dinner and I begin a story in which I tell her about how I worked with Indians in Alaska. She says, "Do people come over from India to work in Alaska?"
"No," I say. "Indians as in Cowboys and Indians."
The entire tables gasped, "You can't say that anymore, you're supposed to say Native Americans."
That's when I knew America had gone to shit. What happened to playing Cowboys and Indians? Are kids now supposed to say, "Let's play Cowboys and Native Americans?" Unreal...I meant nothing derogatory by it and if Indian reservations can still use the word Indian in the names of their casinos, I can still say the word Indian. f***ing overly sensitive people.
My sister just shook her head. The rest of the table was in shock and said very little to me for the rest of the evening. And you know what, I didn't give a f**k.
