isn't this just supply and demand? you predicted a higher demand of just that and so you supplied it :p

Nothing wrong with that IMO.

Just like there is nothing wrong with the Wal Mart in our area selling Indian cooking sauces and curries, as opposed to a Wal Mart in Michigan which doesnt. Lots of Indian community here, not much in Michigan. Its called supply and demand and forecasting your sales. I think thats how these companies get to be billion dollar machines!!!

But seriously OP, get a degree!!!

I can't believe the lengths ATOT members go through to justify their actions/feelings.

I imagine he means they're even more popular than normal among Hispanics...

I don't think there's anything wrong in that. It's not like they *have* to order it.

Imagine if you have a bunch of asian friends come over. You know they probably eat a lot of rice and like it, so you cook a lot of rice for them. Is that racist? Not in my opinion. You're trying your best to do what you think is good.

lol sure its racial profiling. but a pretty lame version of it hahaha

i mean cmon, hispanics - pizza, its just funny too think about it. usually when people think of racial profiling its like, "oh a black walked into my store, hes going to rob me"

but youre just saying you gotta make more pizzas. I find it very funny. ahhaha

So whenever some hispanics come in (especially a large group) and order the buffet...I immediatley throw a couple pepperoni's in the oven to get them cooking. This always seems to work out just fine...as they get eaten.

If you're against racial profiling...then you are also against what I'm doing.
So if I'm against racial profiling then I'm against you trolling in this thread?

Hell when I worked in a restaurant, it was very common for black people to order ribs, shrimp, and steak.... so I always would suggestive sell those higher priced items to them. When white people came in I would always suggest our salad bar. Does it make me racist b/c I was suggesting items that I knew most would order and enjoy? I don't think so. Thumbs up for preparing the pepperoni before it was ordered.

So long as you don't chain down the chairs or cover them in plastic before they sit down who cares. I wish every time I walked into a pizza buffet they tossed in a couple extra peperonis, I wouldn't have to wait so long when they ran out. Sounds like good customer service to me.

There's never any shame in holding down a job and making an honest living. There is something seriously wrong with you if you get your jollies berating other people's professions.

I don't see how that's racial profiling.

For example, there's this one restaurant that my famil frequents a lot, as do a lot of other Indians in the town that I live in. Now, he knows that the most Indians here are Jain, i.e.: they don't eat products that were grown in the ground, and therefore they can't eat onions, so the dude at this pizzeria knows that, and he will ask us if we are Jain or not. Nothing wrong with that.

Ok, it's slightly different, but still the same thing. He know's his people basically, that's what I'd call it.

I think this is more cultural profiling than racial profiling. Either way, though, I have no qualms with either for any reason.

If a 60 year old white woman tries to hijack a plane and fly it into the Empire State Building, or a 17 year old black kid in Newark driving a $70,000 car through Newark at 70mph is on his way to bring his Grandma a hot meal, or when the 100m dash becomes dominated by northern europeans, or when pickups flying the confederate flag aren't driven exclusively by white folk from the South, I'll stop believing that racial profiling is not evil.
