Nope. Still UNCF.
But they avoid spelling it out. Like KFC avoiding “fried” they UNCF it to avoid “negro.”

“Seriously I didnt know black was now offensive.”
It is hard to keep up with. It seems to change daily, sometimes multiple times in a single day.

"She could have just as easily wrote bald guy or blonde couple or whatever. Its absurd that people are offended."
One time a friend and I were dining at a nice steakhouse.
There was a long wait.
I noticed that the hostess had written "leather and vinyl" on her pad.
She was describing our jackets. Big deal.
For the record my friend was wearing the vinyl jacket.
Maybe he should sue.

Seems rather absurd to me. If she had used a racial slur, that would be one thing. But I don’t get the sense that’s what was going on here. It shouldn’t have wound up on the receipt, but nobody was “dissing” the couple, that I can tell. More likely just an honest mistake.
Oh yeah, and the owner is a total pansy. If I ate there, I would stop.

I’m surprised my restaurant bills don’t describe me as Anti-social White Boy.

What is offensive about that?
Good grief some folks are twitchy!
“Black Couple”? Really?
So what? She could have been thinking they looked like a cute couple, who knows. This is just ignorance run amuk.

I still dont know what the issue is, so she wrote black couple. Its a descriptive term, . . ." better description would be to add "agitators". Merely descriptive, you understand? Not a slur at all-

I would ask,"are they green?
Are they yellow? No?
Are they white? Are they black?
Then I would give the proprietor a swift kick in the ass for being so stupid in the first place.

Hint: if these patrons were to commit a crime, what would the descriptive noun be?

“Negro” is Spanish for “black”. What if it were a Hispanic waitress writing “la pareja negro” ? The Communists would not know WHAT to do next!!! /s ;)

just label them uppity a-holes and have no fear of being labeled a racistIn any restaurant where the descriptive "black couple" is significantly identifying and yet something which the management would flee from, I'd wager "uppity a-holes" would not be definitive enough.
