racism
so a guest comes into my office this morning (i work in a casino/hotel), and he asks me why we have Kool & the Gang playing our property.
he says, "because they're really aren't THAT many african-american people who gamble in here anyway"... he goes on to say, "no i'm not racist...if you had that woman who was married to rick fox come in here...i'd probably go and see her." i literally sat there in a daze...i couldn't wait for this guy to get the hell out of my office. makes me amazed at how lucky i am to be surrounded by mostly decent, intelligent people...cause there are a ton out there who fall far below the bar. |

Re: racism
i don't know if it was racist as much as just plain ignorant...either way...this guy was a tool and i had to purge the five minutes i was sitting there tortured with him out of my system.

Re: racism
That's just really weird rather than racist. It does make sense to have acts that appeal to customers, but the insinuation the K&G would only appeal to blacks is weird. I don't know who Rick Fox is. Does that make me racist?

Re: racism
Being ignorant and being racist are very nearly the same thing. Tough call on which one this treasure was, and probably doesn't matter.
