He seems to be implying that "restaurants" (I guess he means the cooks, and owners who don't stop the cooks) who spit in black people's burgers aren't racist.
Even if, as you say in trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, he's talking about third parties who aren't working there, the restaurant has a responsibility to not allow patrons to disrupt other patron's meal. If someone were to spit in my food, and the restaurant didn't kick them out, I'd sure as hell be pissed off at that restaurant.
Racism (and other forms of discrimination based on who you are rather than what you do) is insidious and evil, and needs to be stood up against, not just passively saying "well, that's what they do, what are you going to do." It is fundamentally wrong to treat a person as a category, rather than an individual.
- bilbo0s 13y agoGuy... look... the owner may not even be around when a cook or waiter compromises someone's food. How can you say that the owner is a bigot simply because he or she has bigots working for him or her. I've run into MANY bigots in San Francisco for instance. Many work at Apple, Facebook, Google and Yahoo. Does that, then, imply that the senior executives at these firms are bigots? At some point, you need to trust your employees. You only know what you see, and you can't see everything. This does not make you a racist... it makes you a human.
