I was sort of with you until you claimed racism ...
That just made it weird
Not racism in the "fuck those [insert slur here]s." Racism in the sense of subtle background stereotypes that are super pervasive. Think queer villains in media. Msg was associated with Chinese food and ended up with a bad (and false) rap because of it. Mexican and Mexican ish foods are associated with stomach upset and GI issues. Chipotles has a similar stigma. It's a cultural hang over from a time when outright discrimination and stereotyping was more acceptable. It's not necessarily something we're aware of doing when we do it, made even more insidious by virtue of people who do not hold negative views perpetuating the same stereotype because of our own lack of awareness to it.
[insert slurs here]...
Read my other comments. My friend that would hock booger loogie bubbles in your face was the cook, at a number of our local restaurants.
Nasty isn't a slur, that's just declaring that anyone that hired him accepts nasty cooks.
Basically means there's at least 3 entire cities where I won't visit for fast food, because I know they'll just as soon hire a cook that talks with loogie bubbles in his mouth.
Nasty isn't a slur. That's just a callout...
Yeah I just can't get on board with this
Chipotle had a bad rap for literally food poisoning a lot of people multiple times
And taco bell has a bad rap because it's low quality food. I think it's better today so maybe it seems unfairly targeted, but I definitely have had diarrhea many times from that food, especially back in the day.
