I’m certainly not saying their race wasn’t a factor in the officer’s behavior, but that’s bullshit. These sort of abuses happen to white people a lot, too. When you give someone a badge, weapons, and absolutely no accountability (as proven beyond any doubt by the lack of criminal charges against him), they’re likely…

Why do so many people consider it unacceptable to recognize how good someone is at something just because they’re an asshole?

I think his point was that when you’re a professional, part of acting professionally is doing your job regardless of any conflicting political views between you and your customer.

I don’t understand.

And if they were caterers, they’d be making him food. Because that would be their job. And if they didn’t want to do their job, they could quit.

Why would they say any different?

Pretty sure employment contracts don’t generally have an option to ignore your professional and contractual responsibilities because you don’t like the customer.

So much of this rhetoric, so little understanding of what jobs are or what someone’s responsibility is as a professional.

How is putting on a performance not “a job”?

This is completely ridiculous. “Forced labor”? It’s a JOB. Do you not understand that? They aren’t being forced to do anything, they can quit. They can quit, or they can do their damn job.

Is it horniness, or is it loneliness? Genuinely asking, I haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know how it’s portrayed.

Funny, if a white person said “I don’t really care about [minority]’s feelings anymore” you’d probably call them a racist...

Why didn’t anyone call the police?

There are clearly, legally defined minimum requirements for the car’s condition upon return.

Exactly. This whole situation came about through duplicity on VW’s part.

Committing a hit and run and then going on a profane rant at the person whose property you damaged is appalling. That the profane rant was also racist is, honestly, irrelevant.

I don’t have much experience with dragonfruit, passionfruit, or coconut, but those are not ideal ways to cut pineapple or watermelon into chunks.

Why do you care?

It is GOOD to dismiss this kind of retarded criticism. When you give credence to these moronic accusations of racism you cheapen and minimize actual racism.

They’re pieces of shit, but if the texts were “circulated” without their consent, there is absolutely no justification to expel them and I hope they win the lawsuit.
