I feel like that has to be blown out of proportion. Maybe she didn't want cooks using the front door because there was a back door and people who work in the back shouldn't work through the front of house and dining areas to get to their post. Maybe also the bathrooms were the guest bathrooms? I understand she's a racist, but I would have to think that that treatment of her employees would have been enough to warrant her demise on its own merits. Not a tag-along story to her being videotaped telling racist jokes to patrons.
She's an old, racist, white woman who still is living in the 1900's. Her punishment should be more than a lawsuit IMHO.
Cooks and dishwasher, yes. Managers, no - assuming that's true.I feel like that has to be blown out of proportion.

This is the young man she describes as her son from another father in this same interview. Politically incorrect, sure, but racist?http://www.uproxx.com/webculture/20...-making-insensitive-racial-comments-surfaces/
"We can't see you standing against that dark board".
Swedish Airlines is opening up a new route to Nigeria, so they send their crack pilot team to try out the new route. On approach, the pilot says "This looks like a pretty short runway, give me 10 degree flaps." The copilot complies.
A bit closer in and the pilot says "Man, that runway is shorter than I thought. Better make that 15 degree flaps. The copilot complies.
At 1,000 feet the pilot says "Crap, I don't think this runway is long enough for this plane. Better give me 25 degree flaps." The copilot complies.
At five hundred feet the pilot panics. "Jesus, we're never gonna make it. Quick, give me 40 degree flaps." The copilot complies. Fifty feet up the plane stalls, then slams down on the runway. The pilot slams throttles into full reverse, both men stand on the brakes, and the plane shutters to a stop inches from running off the tarmac. Wiping his brow, the pilot says "Man, I can't believe how short this runway is! We almost died!"
And the copilot says "Yeah, and look how wiiide it is!"
OP why are you crucifying Paula when she didnt say any of those things? her piece of shit brother did.
What is wrong with you lately? It's like you had a lobotomy or something, and you already had precious little to begin with. That isn't a racist joke. It isn't making fun of white people. It's making fun of Swedish people.This is the young man she describes as her son from another father in this same interview. Politically incorrect, sure, but racist?
I wouldn't call that a racist joke. I think of a racist joke as one which involves implying something negative about a particular race. Unless one assumes that very dark skin is inherently inferior, I don't think this qualifies, but YMMV.
Example of a racist joke:
An acceptable racist joke since it's about white people, but with the implication that the pilots are mentally defective.

No, seriously, WTF is wrong with you lately?
Dude, you made me spit tea!What I am wondering: where is Spidey in all of this? I expected he and his kin to be lining up on this scandal like homophobes at a Chik Fil-A.
where is the freedom butter?
Well, it was originally an Ellen Degeneres joke IIRC about the Swiss - she said they were the only group it was safe to make fun of. I decided Swedes are paler than the Swiss. At any rate, it's closer to a racist joke than what Dean said, which had no pejorative content at all.What is wrong with you lately?

If the only people that have never in their life used a racial slur could post their out rage, this would be a very very short thread. The person that rants and raves about this is a f***ing hypocrite.
I've used them, you have used them, but I have the integrity to admit it vs. being a raging liar.
I'm talking about any racist term, not just the 'n' word. Every race has a whole list of racist terms for every other race.I've never called anyone a ****** in my life.

How many times do they say it in most rap songs? 50? More? Oh, but it's OK for THEM to say it just not US.
Political correctness is pure crap.
