This is what happens when people are so desperate to find racism to protest against that all rational thought goes out the fucking window. This is a situation that literally could have been resolved by a single person asking the owner "what do you have against minorities applying?" and discovering the misunderstanding right then and there.

mfw when sjw's destroy a business owned by minorities in their crusade to defend minorities

yes and no. the only undue part of the story is the boycott continuing after it was supposedly cleared up. your hypothetical of a passerby on the street is somewhat valid but it doesn't take into account viral spreading. Someone walking by posts a quick twitter post and its off. now if that were a legit callout of minorities it deserves to get boycotted into bankrupcy, but i don't think even 1 out of 1000 people would have looked at that sign and thought "i wonder if he means minors?" which pretty much negates the "someone should have walked in and cleared it up" part IMO.

only part that has me curious is how an employee didn't bring it up

if I was working there I would insta bring it up

and if I worked there I would know there is a language thing and would approach it taking that into consideration

drumpf's fault

coincidentally you'd be hard pressed to find 1 out of a 1000 white liberals who can relate to first generation immigrants and their struggles with the english language/culture/history

remember that time voyaging went full retard over hitler brand ice cream in india?

Trump promised he would make anime real.

I think my issue is that just taking a quick snapshot of it and posting it to twitter without even thinking to question its legitimacy is representative of a much larger problem - there is a huge disconnect in many people's minds about how prevalent / tolerated racism is and it causes their responses to it to be completely disproportionate and irrational in situations where there really doesn't need to be a problem. I really think that most rational people would look at a sign like that and be inclined to question its legitimacy because of how obviously wrong it is before just immediately jumping to conclusions.

i think the situation is just a bit more complex, but i agree that it represents a large societal problem. not really a new one just one bolstered by the age of instant information. the reason i think it's complex is the abstract nature of the "modern social media driven boycott". People just #boycott____ anything. places they don't shop, in states they'll never visit, etc. like i posted above #boycottstarbucks was a viral movement spurred by a fake news story. and for that reason the "question its legitimacy" is more muddy water. how and why would someone in Maine question a sign on a small diner in Arkansas for example? i suppose the best answer is ignore it, but combating it is muddy water.



lol no i don't remember his rant specifically but i do remember that event
