Dry Asparagus=Racism

tarcone · 07-21-2013, 12:11 AM

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.

I'm guessing they have a really shitty produce manager and department.

Or a really shitty human relations committee.

Olander admitted to being in an “ornery mood” the day he visited the store. “I just felt like stirring it up a little bit, letting them know that somebody cares,” he said, according to the recording.

pretty much explains it all

Having read the article, the guy that disputed the asparagus said he was looking for a fight. I don't care who you are, if you want to find a reason to get hacked off, you will find it.

So do I have a claim against Raising Cane when they ask me what kind of chicken would I like? Setting aside that all they do is serve chicken, I want justice for being asked if I wanted chicken because I am black.

I am going to file a civil suit as soon as I get back to Virginia. I need justice for being asked what kind of chicken I would like at a chicken shack.

Why are you going to Wendy's for chili anyway? Aren't you from Texas Jeebs?? I will file a suit against you for disrespecting the great state of Texas with their awesome chili.
