What a zoo.

[Lurker]

It’s coming, want it or not.

She’s probably pretty rude herself.

-whew-....”controversial photo shot at a zoo” could have been a whole lot worse than that!

[Menehune56]

Last month, similar outrage. At least this genius has been fired.

[kevkrom]

Now see, if this had been someone about to feed some, say, polar bears, I’d have just laughed it off as a clever play on words.

[DoodleDawg]

And social media idiocy claims another victim.

[Alex Murphy]

The photo shows a woman wearing a Brookfield Zoo uniform with the caption: “At work serving these rude (expletive) white people.” The photo sparked outrage from some customers and was shared thousands of times on social media. Zoo officials confirmed the woman is an employee.

[a fool in paradise]

SEEBS thinks it is “controversial” (has several legitimate arguments) and only SOME think it is racist. Mmmm hmmm.

[WakeUpAndVote]

But, does she still have a job?

[MNDude]

This is why I use FaceBook for employee screening.

[xrmusn]

I am just conjuring up the ‘sh.t storm’ that would have been raised if a WHITE employee said she was tired of......

The White employee would have been given the ‘Go directly to jail, do not collect 200 dollars etc’

When I/we bring up these parallels etc, we get accused of trying to incite a riot, while when the Black says something similar there is just a lot of ‘tsk.tsk.’n’ going on.

I *thought* I recognized her... she threw poop at me from her cage last time I visited the primate house.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

but rest assured that we have taken prompt action to remedy the situation

All whites who enter the zoo will be counseled on being polite to the staff . . . .

[bgill]

Does “prompt action to remedy the situation” mean their fired her racist backside on the spot or merely suggested she might want to consider not posting such again and gave her a raise for troubling her?

[Organic Panic]

[PghBaldy]

If it were about non-whites, “racist,” would not be in scare quotes.

[FredZarguna]

"We treat all employment matters confidentially, but rest assured that we have taken prompt action to remedy the situation.”

Translation: don't bother trying to find out that we've taken no action whatsoever beyond scrubbing her social media accounts.

[BenLurkin]

Sounds like the zoo handled it perfectly.

I am still trying to figure out why all these IDIOTS; of all races, colors, and religious beliefs continue to post this stupid, damaging crap for the entire universe to see?
I call them IDIOTS because any body with even half a functional brain knows that this garbage is seen and commented upon by the whole world, usually to the detriment of the person who posted it.
If these idiots are so desperate for some recognition why can’t they just do something that people will remember and appreciate?
Do some charitable work, write an important essay, organize some neighborhood renovation work.
Hell; just invent a better gopher trap (I hate gophers).
