Diversity training? Obviously, it isn't working.
How could he not see the racial connotations of the comment? For one, why are people placing ANYTHING in their food or on their plates that isn't on the menu? Secondly, why place a toy that
simulates defecation on someone's plate?
Third, why was she the only officer to get one? Isn't "pig" an old slang term for police? If she was with a group of officers, everyone should have gotten one. Why was she referred to as a BLACK pig? Man, the future lawyer in me is coming out!
WE need to stop patronizing these restaurants that don't respect us. We are good to bus the tables, cook the food, take out the trash, mop and clean, yet we aren't good enough to receive adequate service. That's why I limit my restaurant visits. If I do go out, I try to visit Black-owned establishments. This is getting ridiculous.
