Accept No Substitutes
Just because I live in the land of ignorance and mullets (and pick up trucks and Budweiser), I shouldn't have to put up with such blatant -isms! Case in point: in today's paper a local restaurant is advertising its specials this week.
First they offend all women by offering some dish named "Cheese Knocker"? Pretty sexist, huh?
Then, they want to entice me by offering a pork dinner with a German? If I go there and order that will they subtract part of the price since I already am one and don't need to pay for one at my table? Racist? or is it Ethnicist? Germans aren't really a race, they're just the uptight northern cousins of the cool Mediterraneans.
I haven't been to this establishment yet after a year and half here, and I'm in no rush. You see, on our local cable-access channel there's a group of obese men with shaved heads who do a "show" from there, while they eat and joke around with each other. **Shudder!**
