Why did the “white people” take this sitting down?
I suspect in NYC most of them are liberals with white guilt or are just too much of a pussy to stand up to them.
Bet you’d never see this in Texas.
Because they are white liberals
good question. I can't believe that italian looking guy was just there sitting there and taking it. I was hoping for a Sopranos type resolution where the protesters got what was coming to them.
Because metrosexuals.
If I had been there, I would’ve told them to make themselves less useless and grab something off the shelf for me.
also, you're far more likely to win the lotto than encounter a concealed carrier in NYC
“Why did the “white people” take this sitting down?”
Normalcy bias. People expect peace at a restaurant, and think if they do nothing the problem will go away, and if they do act they will be punished. They hope that compliance alone will restore peace, fearing that stepping up will escalate the conflict.
Last night I had a comparable incident. Out for dinner, some guy was on his hands-free phone doing business loudly enough to overwhelm our conversation - even though he was on the far side of the large room. My wife was becoming distraught, but was reluctant we say anything lest he become violent. Failing to get his attention (turned out he was completely blind) I complained to a waitress, and long story short he moved and quieted down. All turned out well. Relevance? people, in public, are deeply reluctant to criticize the behavior of others in mutually polite circumstances in close proximity, fearful bad behavior well turn worse.... Yet firm calling out and request for better behavior can work, both against mistaken and deliberate disturbance.
Do you know how hard it is to get a reservation in NY?
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty but the pig likes it...
