Yikes. He clearly got fires for the "Ock / let me get it the Ocky" way comment. Not for not liking bodegas. I'm not saying the firing was deserved. Just that the headline is clearly misleading.

  The bit in the video where he says its like those tik toks where people say hey Ock let me get an egg sandwich the Ocky way is him using an accent while describing tik toks where people yell at middle eastern people in bodegas to make them a sandwich, "their way". In 2022 its racially insensitive enough to be offensive to a lot of people. That is why they got in trouble. That and their other, worse, tik toks. Not for saying they couldnt find a grocery store.

      Yeah... It's pretty clear they looked at his tik tok and the racial comments are why he got fired... https://twitter.com/DNetxy/status/1541568953805406209 https://twitter.com/DNetxy/status/1541568953805406209 Bought an NAAPC shirt so he could fit in with, "Those people" at his gym in the Bronx better.

General Ock is the name of the cook that makes food-porn sandwiches. There’s nothing racist about it.

  Okay. So you can say there is nothing wrong with that one. But someone pointed outreach to this persons tik tok profile. Which includes that video and more. Including one where he says he bought a naacp shirt so he can fit in better with "those people" at his gym in the bronx. https://twitter.com/DNetxy/status/1541568953805406209 https://twitter.com/DNetxy/status/1541568953805406209 It's very likely that there are more racially insensitive, at best, videos which would lead to some action, like termination, taking place. It's very naive to pretend like there is absolutely nothing wrong with this persons behavior and that they were fired for not liking bodegas.

    there is nothing wrong with that behavior, no one was hurt, or even close to hurt. this is ridiculous.
