If he's not an equal opportunity employer, then what's the problem?

Why hire someone that situationally may drive off customers?

Because the stated rationale for doing so is almost certainly a title VII violation of the civil rights act?

I completely understand that people are racist, what I don't understand is how on this day and age they seem to think that it is fine to act out on that racism and to top it all of, they plaster it all on such a public place as the internet...

Probably because he doesn't think he's being racist (although he certainly is).

I wonder if he'll categorically discount other stupid names like Apple and all the various aiden's like Caiden and braiden and all that crap. This just reeks of stupidity and racism. I bet he's the type that says "I'm not a racist but...." While looking around for an overtly racist statement.

I just call everyone Bob. It has a nice ring to it, and its not too hard to spell.

It also has the side effect of reminding people you don't care enough to know about their personal lives. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way. It is one of the Ron Swanson techniques of Greatness.

He shoulod have started his post with "I'm not racist but...."

That is so awesome and I agree with most of it...

Yeah, I was wondering if it's intended to be tongue-in-cheek, because I tend to agree with much if not all of that pyramid.

Who is this guy? Why do we care?

Spoiler:

Haha this is cracking me up right now, great addition!

Moskowitz? I'm not racist but..............................

'Those people' should know better.




That is how you do casual racism.

Rabble rabble, rah rah, rabble rabble!

*grabs pitchfork and lights a torch*

Rabble rabble, Obama Fox News, rabble rabble!



That the response you were looking for OP?

I think there can be valid threads about racism, and with good discussion in them. This one just feels like an attempt to stir up gak.

This just seems like a minor case of pure stupidity.

I just call everyone George Foreman.

This was about the dumbest thing you can say......except that he said it forever on the internet!. WE HAVE A WINNER. This guy makes the Barilla guy look like a hippy liberal!

What exactly makes him an "American Hero(TM)"?

Is this guy a celebrity I've never heard of or something?

So, what makes this fethhead an american hero?

Well, either the OP is one of those people who genuinely thinks we live in a "politically correct ashen Lieberal wasteland where True American Patriots are hunted for sport by the granola-munching monsters of the Lieberal Mainstream Media Elite", or the American Hero comment was sarcasm directed at such numpties.

There's at least a third option.

Or maybe OP is using exaggeration to highlight the idiocy of the person. Calling him an "American Hero" is like calling a fat guy "Tiny".

Wait... is it just me that does that then?

I do ask a question. Why do people give thier kids names like "Tamisha" or "Lashonda" and other names like that? They are not realistic and people, subconsciously and consciously tend to skip over those names on applications and such

Why aren't they real?

They just seem like fake names that where made up by random syllables

Because people want their children to be special little snowflakes, which is stupid because people will read a name and will subconsciously assign a level of bias to it.

And technically a name because real the moment someone names their child that. So if I name my kid Abcde (ab-si-day), then it's a name and it's real. It's a terrible name to name your kid, but it's now real.

What makes those names more or less real than "Johnathan" or "Sue"?

How about "Moon Unit" or "Dweezil"?

I frankly cannot wait to name my daughter L-a

Aren't all names essentially that?
I mean my name has lost any of the meaning it may have once had.
Calling them 'fake' is just a bit silly. Now they may sound silly but that's a whole different kettle of fish, there are loads of names that sound silly.
