why?
Because it happens whenever any OTHER color or distinguishing characteristic is applied to a person in a story around here.

Or are you saying that white people aren't GOOD enough to raise your ire when their race is given a negative stereotype?

?? why would i get flamed for that? it's a descriptor.

According to most of ATOT, you wouldn't be politically correct if you mention that a "black man walked into the store and...." so if you mention that someone is white, you're a reverse racist.

You're implying that people can't be against their own race? You clearly haven't seen enough Dave Chapelle 😀

I'm not saying he is. I'm saying that other posters will say that.. and if you scroll up you'll see that I was right. Didn't he say he's PERSIAN anyway???
 
Quite heroic of you to stand outside with your phone. :roll:

Why didn't you just call the cops?

-You felt threatened
-You made an observation about a weighted object in his jacket
-The gentleman's actions, drug induced or due to his mental capacity, were causing a disturbance

We should flame the op for mentioning that it was a "middle eastern" supermarket. Talk about irrelevant!

as if you're some kind of jack bauer?

because if nothing was going to happen, i'd rather not waste the cops' time.

the guy didn't start any trouble, although it seemed like he tried... the cops shouldn't have been called.

how's that irrelevant? did you read the part where the guy comes in deliberately trying to start shyt by flashing his anti-arab 9-11 shirt?

the fact that he was white was important, thanks for letting us know

LOL. ATOT ALWAYS points out when black people do something bad - even when it has no relevance on the situation (i.e. that movie theater girls talking thread)... yet this is not relevant also? Come on. :roll:
 
Hookah FTW. :thumbsup: Did you post a pic of yourself in the pic thread? I can't remember. I suppose I'll go look, but there's tons of replies. lol

EDIT:

Ah yes. I just looked and I remember you now. Cute. 🙂

yeah those crazy white people should go back to where they came from....

this is why whites have no right to live. they are genetically inferior to other races.

Yep. According to Louis Farrakhan (SP?), white people were invented by a black mad scientist in the distant past.
 
I love ethnic grocery stores, at least the ones I have been to. You can find all sorts of interesting snack foods, ingredients, and cooking implements you don't find at a regular grocery. A co-worker of mine said to have her buy the steamer I was interested in though, because I would get charged more due to not being a regular or part of their ethnic group.
