‘African-American’, huh... When’s the last time you were in Africa?
The single greatest example of cultural appropriation in the U.S. today. They’re no more African than I am Scottish. Sure its in the background, but its been 300 years— give it a rest.
On the other hand, grocery checkout clerks aren’t brain surgeons. Suing Safeway just speeds up the move to automation. I already use InstaCart for my deliveries from Publix and TotalWine. I spend less than I would if I visited the store and they dont get a shot at upselling me to a higher margin product. I have a shopping list, it gets entered, they deliver. Anything unusual I go to ethnic grocers.
The more lawsuits like this happens the more corporations will be incentivized to put technology between people at the transactional level.
