Maybe it does in University City, a Suburb of St Louis.
Here is the title of the article and a snippet: Dry asparagus prompts questions about racial discrimination in University City
"It started in May when resident David Olander was perusing the produce section of the University City Schnucks. He noticed the asparagus weren’t resting in a tray of water.
“It was just sitting there dried out,” said Olander, a member of the city’s human relations commission.
Olander summoned an assistant manager, and then he asked the question: Did the quality of the asparagus have any relationship to the store’s location in a black neighborhood?
“‘I certainly hope not,’” Olander recalled the manager saying."
The Mayor was okay with this 7 member committee going out and representing the city in this matter. Jeez.
Anyway, kind of a sad story. There were over 300 comments. They are better then the story. This newspaper is one of the worst I have ever seen.
