hahaha chef tell me you are joking

MULATTO do you not know this is like calling someone a negro

yeah i would not say it is OFFENSIVE but it is certainly archaic!

if you were a waiter in lynchburg you should be racist against white people. i am not joking when i say on sunday afternoons when the flood of church people hit the restaurants instead of tipping with money they leave these little cards saying JESUS LOVES YOU or some shit with the address for their church!

ahaha man that is awful.  yeah it varies because obviously rednecks and other WHITE TRASH or w/e people don't tip for shit, either, but like i used to work in a pretty nice area that was mostly just wealthy white people, so it'd be 20%+ and then some random black table asking for fucking PINK LEMONADE refills over and over and all this other stupid time-consuming shit and running you around only to leave like $8 on a hundred or something.  it sucks that this is the perception people have of an entire race because for some reason minorities consistently tip lower in nice places.  it spawns this whole ugly GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG (KFC) attitude and it is kind of shitty on both sides!

ps where i worked there was this awful woman who would make the rounds of restaurants in the area and it was pretty hysterical because literally every server in like a 20 mile radius knew her and was afraid to get her.  she was this tiny old frazzled-looking red-haired dentist who would come in with these three awful fucking triplets and just demand a bunch of shit and be a real chore and leave a huge mess, then tip with like FLOSS//DENTAL PAMPHLETS.  this isn't really relevant to the topic but i always thought it was pretty funny and your jesus loves you thing reminded me of it.

I feel sorry for you. You're missing out on the finer things in life.

ps you guys waiters are like some of the most consistent people in terms of JUDGING BASED ON RACE so if you are a darkie or an indian or something tip like 25% so they will maybe reconsider their preconceptions.  seriously like, there's a ridiculous ratio of white tables who tip 5% vs black tables who tip 5%; i really wish people wouldn't reinforce stereotypes by doing shit like RUNNING YOU AROUND, THEN BEING CHEAP.

Haha, why should I tip 25% because I don't want somebody to think I'm cheap? I mean, sure their preconceptions may be skewed but tipping them after the fact is not going to make their service during the dinner any better retroactively. I stick to my little tip card which shows me the 15%/20%; why pay more just because people might maintain some racist notions? At the very best, they'll think "wow, maybe black people are not all that cheap" and be nicer to the next customer, but how is that going to affect me? More likely they'll think I'm an exception to their preconceived notions. You know, the "you're a credit to your race" sort of thing

Race has never been a particularly big issue for me because, despite the majority white affluent community here, my life was another Captain Planet story. My best friends were white, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, black, Indian, Asian, etc. I guess I was always aware of race, but it wasn't really a big thing because I was surrounded by so many different people. It pisses me off when people say I act "white", though (my friends have a nasty habit of doing this). Or calling me an "oreo", jokingly or not. (Black on the outside, white on the inside, for those of you who haven't heard of it.) It's not being "white". It's being "educated", which many people of many minorities are, despite whatever sort of vernacular or style of dress they have, etc. I'm getting to the point where I might punch one of my friends in the face next time this say this.

I'm going off to college in Philadelphia, which may change this whole aspect of my life. Even though UPenn is a somewhat liberal school and has a good percentage of international students, I might get stuck in a particular group. Which would not be very fun, in my opinion. When I went to Emory University for the "Essence" weekend (black and Hispanic prospective student visitation), it was quite fun but it got a little boring. Diversity, plz.

Like Grunthor, I don't really care for trailer/ghetto trash, though. I prefer to think this is a dislike of ignorance/stereotypical behavior, because the "trash" label/ideology can spread to all lengths of the rainbow of races.

marcus thats dumb you shouldn't waste peoples' time like that!  sometimes if they don't want to talk to you it is because they are really busy and time spent answering your inane questions is time spent not doing shit their other tables actually need, not because they are dicks.  like sometimes i will be in some retardedly inconvenient section (bar, patio, etc) and people will be like HMMM WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SPAGHETTI??? while i just got triple sat or something because all hostesses are dumb and need to get bread/drink orders and it is like arggghhdfndl it's fucking spaghetti what do you want me to say???

so yeah don't do that unless you are like the only guy in their section, it's very inconsiderate!

Every time I get upset that Kristin Kreuk is playing Chun-Li, I always feel racist in some sort of way.

Haha, I just remembered: I got somewhat miffed when Angelina Jolie was chosen to play Daniel Pearl's half-black widow in "A Mighty Heart". I mean, Mariane Pearl apparently requested Jolie to play her, but it's just a bit aggravating when they could have chosen some actresses that are actually black to play her. Or at least half black. But since it was ultimately Mariane's decision, it's not really the biggest deal.

But she also played Fox in Wanted who is actually black as well. And not light-skinned, but actually-pretty-dark black. I'm seeing a pattern. I guess this is similar to the "NOT CHINESE ENOUGH" thing except that Jolie is not black at all.
