Hasn't the "Canadians" thing been brought up before?

Number None, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link

It's an old restaurant worker meme. I'm sure if you wanted to Google "black people" Canadians, something would show up. (besides pictures of Rick Fox.)

Seems like there's enough of a smoking gun there to get the guy disciplined?

Yes, still in use (in the US south at least) c. 2003 when I last waited tables.

we had a whole thread on a couch with that particular color brown!

i think we determined it came from chinese manufacturers still using a pretty ancient UK industrial color lexicon via HK. iirc.

speaking of, what do y'all think of the "Chinese Woman" Seinfeld episode? I'm not really sure if it's offensive or not though it basically revolves around the "yellow fever" concept without saying it directly

frogbs, Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link

more akin to using the term 'oriental' and wondering why people are getting upset.

best part of that "about us" text is this admission nonchalantly slipped into the middle of it: "Nowadays, Abercrombie and Fitch piracy in China has spread to unimaginable proportions."

1staethyr, Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link

well A&F has a history of race problems for sure, especially in terms of hiring practices iirc

i think this is serious (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link

goole - i was referring to myself posting the "about us" text for laughs, not the name of the pants

i was too slow posting so it looked like the ^^ was pointing at you instead of at myself

shit, i'd never seen that abercrombie pirate site, so news to me. fact that it's apparently chinese ESL does make it different in kind from most of the other stuff on this thread, tho.

Quick, shallow take on that vid (w/ lots of room for error):

Budding british drama student. Immature. Working class. Most of what he's saying is based in how he talks on the phone with his buddies (hence the frequent profanity), but it's all mashed up with bad tv drama and crappy stereotypes.

Aimless, Friday, 23 March 2012 00:07 (twelve years ago) link

idk how much of that is extemporized but assuming most of it is semirehearsed spiel based on knowledge of bad films its p impressive, scottish one is probably the worst

thank you, cozen

I really like his regular accent. It reminds me of how Robert Smith talks.
