Human rights is reduced to a beef about beer and wings

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has agreed to hear a complaint against a restaurant chain that sells a beer called Albino Rhino, because a woman who suffers albinism considers it offensive, thus proving once again that society has lost all ability to solve small problems without turning them into big ones.

In this case, as is often the situation, both parties in the dispute have valid enough arguments – if you’re determined to have an argument.

Ikponwosa Ero, a 31-year-old immigrant from Nigeria, says Earls restaurants’ Albino rhino and wings combo is no different than offering an “Alzheimer’s appetizer,” or “Down syndrome daiquiri.” Albinism is a legitimate affliction, considered a disability in Canada. It’s a genetic condition in which sufferers are unable to manufacture skin and hair pigment. Most victims are considered are legally blind, and are susceptible to skin cancers.

Albinos are persecuted – and often murdered – in Africa, says Ero. That’s why her family moved to Canada, “to give me a chance at a better life.”

Barack Obama is a masterful Charlatan, as is this Ero creature.

I wonder if Obama has Hank Williams on his play list or Earnest Tubbs.

Not Bloody likely!

How do you say Down's Syndrome Daiquiri in Spanish?

Earl’s should go ahead and grant her wish. A mere label change from “Albino Rhino” to “Sue-happy Freak” fits the bill.
