Years ago, a breakfast restaurant chain opened an operation off of the highway in Meriden, CT. The restaurant was named after a concatenation of the founders’ names, Sam and Bo.

Sambo’s was stormed with accusations of racism. First they tried a bandaid, calling it “No Place like Sam’s” with a cartoon character covering poor Bo’s spot. Then they tried the Jolly Tiger. No dice. The gods were offended. It is a struggling Friendly’s last I checked.

Those that plan to rob, kill, or enslave you first must shut you up. Once a group has been silenced they can then be attacked.

I did try to look it up, but my translation software wasn’t speaking to home base.

Would it be racist to demand that those complaining attempt self impregnation by assuming a futile and near impossible physical position?

“Some folks really need to get a life. Then maybe they won’t be so oppressed.”

Absolutely right. It is their dark, ugly attitude that oppresses them and makes them miserable. Empty unhappy people.

I have a hispanic friend who used to joke about opening a restaurant and calling it Taco Bender’s Bistro. Our nickname for him was Spic. My dad has a longtime hispanic friend they call Brownbelly.

My great granthfathers nicknames were Frenchy and Poop.

Sadly I can't claim that here. It faithfully rendered my typing.

Still, I suppose I could blame Darks...

He should ask her if ‘Nosy Broads’ would be an acceptable replacement.

Illegal Pedro's?

Ay, yi, yi, yi...
Your restaurant's name offends me...
A new name you'll pick as the law is my friend,
Until you change it, my whining won't end...

I’d prefer “Illegal Pedro”.

So this is an advocate group trying to tell illegals what they should be offended about...
Their self-importance is shameful. And why do they believe illegals can’t think for themselves?

So, years ago I got a citation for an “illegal left turn”. Gee, in hindsight, maybe I should have told the court referee that I am protesting the ticket because it was racist of the officer to call it “illegal”. I wonder how well that would have gone over?
