Seriously? OK, well, The animals running around Furgeson are feral types. The Oakland/Crip/Blood gangbangers are feral types. Because they act ferally rather than like civilized people. And it isn’t the sole province of blacks by any stretch.
What I’m saying is that they havent even the ability to build, run and maintain even a cockroach riddled burger joint.

GOT IT.

The African-American restaurants (none left in San Francisco that I know of) are successful because their restaurants are clean and produce food that people want to buy and eat. They WERE successful but the real estate prices in The City ran out MOST people of plebeian means.

THEY don't have ANY reputation of close-downs for filth that the Chinese have. As much as you may hate to believe it the Chinese were/are/will be the filthiest people on earth...not personally, just their homes and restaurants. Why do you think they would change NOW?

Being POOR doesn't mean being DIRTY. Being DIRTY in this day and age, as the Chinese homes and restaurants are, has to do with spending MONEY on it. It does take money to keep a restaurant (and a home) clean. The Chinese would rather spend the money on education, a Beamer or going out to a Chinese restaurant for their big Sunday DIM SUM.

Black people are VERY clean as you point out. Their restaurants are pristine and their home cookin’ is “let’s eat off the floor” good. This must be one of the problems that this black tour guide has with the Chinese.

“Being DIRTY in this day and age...
has to do with spending MONEY on it.”

Someone close to me (through marriage)
gets enraged every time I do things
like, um, I don’t know, give my kid
a bath. “Too much water!”

Gets enraged when I use a paper towel.
Uses dirty rags to clean a kitchen
and manages to move filth from dirty
places to clean places.
Would rather spend 2 hours shelling
and roasting raw peanuts than spend
an extra 10 cents a pound on the
already roasted peanuts.

I could go on, but you get the point.

What the tour guide says is all true, but
her rage against them is uncalled-for.

PS “The Chinese would rather spend the money on...”
You forgot one thing: they spend huge sums on
going back to China and Vietnam to show
their relatives what big shots they are,
then they come back and rage against anyone
who dares to do anything but stay at home...
too expensive! They spend huge sums in Asia
fixing up their dead ancestors’ graves while
they themselves live like dead people in their
US homes, which end up smelling like graves.
