If the restaurant used Google Translate and gave me a small meat carving of a donkey when I ordered a burrito, I would be mad too.

I'd like the "old clothes" please. LOL.

Is that what the article says happened? There's no link.

No, it isn't. The man was furious that a sign advertising their $1.99 taco special had superscript (written only in Spanish) stipulating the offer is only valid on Friday. A somewhat manipulative ad, sure, but certainly not something that justifies flying into a racist tirade.

I would say that's an incredibly manipulative ad, honestly, kind of scummy to write information like that in a single language on a bilingual menu. However going on a racist tirade is also not a good response, frankly.
