Hoffman certainly cannot tax, true. But his attitude appears taxing.

Whatever this was or wasn’t about, the owner chose to literally close his business over listening to his employees about something relatively minor. It speaks volumes, really.

IamSauerKraut t1_jbf3f7f wrote

If employees walk out because the owner is a shitbag then it's hard to operate the business. Seems he'd rather listen to his ego than listen to the employees.

flaaaacid t1_jbf7f0e wrote

Right. However dumb he thought this issue was, he could have renamed the drink, rolled his eyes, and continued on. Instead he’s got a closed business for several days, a story in the paper that makes him look like an ass, and probably expiring product because the business was closed. Losses on losses on losses. But hey the libs were owned I guess.

Thinking about that time a bunch of Steelers fans burned their $150 jersey over kneeling for the anthem and bought another $150 jersey.

This whole thing sounds so stupid to be honest. I mean, if the claim that he wanted to name a drink “the negro” the following week then I don’t think that would be appropriate but losing their mind over a drink called “the Caucasian?” I mean come on. We have a drink called a White Russian. What exactly is the problem here that they wanted to walk out over a drink called “The Caucasian” that is basically a White Russian? The owner also could have his renamed it something else. All sides here just sound stupid.

I wouldn’t want to work for him or with any of the former employees. It’s his business though. He can die on whatever hill he chooses.

Yea that was my thought. But the owner was extra stupid. Should've just rolled his eyes and renamed it

I’ve worked with small business owners who act like this. They come off as stubborn and out of touch, and are usually always shedding employees.

Pretty confidant that’s a joke. This whole event is weird. They’re offended by “the Caucasian”? Have they never seen The Big Lebowski?

I’m not here to defend the business owner, he’s probably a douche. But they’re walking out over “the Caucasian”?

CavemanUggah t1_jbep6ty wrote

The way I look at it is that there are many terms that I, personally, am not offended by. However, I recognize that these terms are offensive to some people. Therefore, I don't use them. Sometimes, I find out that people are offended by something that I did not realize was offensive. In those cases, I admit my ignorance and refrain from using the term again.

My point is that it really doesn't matter what the word or phrase is. It's my responsibility as a member of an evolving, civil society to learn and adjust my behavior accordingly.

zerobot t1_jbf9r8g wrote

For the word caucasian? This is where we go way too far.

1

CavemanUggah t1_jbfcbcr wrote

My point is that the word doesn't matter. It could be anything. If it's offensive to someone then you can either be a normal member of society and stop offending people or you can demand that society conform to your own particular standards. We have a name for people like that and it's not a nice one.

A good example is the Washington Redskins. That name wasn't offensive to most of the fans of the team or of football, in general. But it was offensive to some people. Dan Snyder didn't care at all about those people, so he didn't change the name until he was publicly shamed for it.

You certainly have the right to continue to knowingly offend people, but understand that most people do not like people who go around carelessly throwing around offensive terms. I certainly do not and will avoid them like the plague.

The Washington football team used a racial slur. Is caucasian a racial slur?

CavemanUggah t1_jbgiqyw wrote

Again. It does not matter. The word itself is not the point. The point is that some people are offended by it and intentionally ignoring that is a-hole behavior.

SeptasLate t1_jbgq4o1 wrote

Yeah but people were offended that a bar I worked at did a fundraiser for a lgbtq center. I am glad we were assholes and didnt worry about offending those people.

On the other hand one might even say it's offensive to compare a cocktail named caucasian to a nfl team named a racial slur.

It's obvious why things like a slur are offensive. It's not obvious and borderline silly that people found "caucasian" offensive without context.

I’m just saying it’s weird to be offended and walk out over “the Caucasian”. I’m sure there are plenty of things to complain about there being a service industry job - they probably get paid shit wages. Walk out over that.

I think it’s weirder to be so committed to a drink name, when enough employees are ready to walk over it that it will force you to close. Over a drink name.

I’m sure he’s not used to people telling him “no”. He probably feels like he’s being bullied and is doubling down.

flaaaacid t1_jbeiw2p wrote

I see it as who had what to lose. Agree with the employees or not, they were willing to lose their jobs over this. Any manager/owner not fully up their own ass would take that as a wake up call.

zerobot t1_jbf9lz1 wrote

Agreed. I mean the name is so milquetoast. What exactly is so offensive about such a mediocre name such as “The Caucasian?”

Your white privilege is showing. It takes a deliberate act of conscious will to be so tone-deaf in 2023..

zerobot t1_jbfhyr0 wrote

You can feel free to explain why the caucasian is so offensive.

Yes. The privilege of not having to worry about a mixed drink being served for two days called the white person.

This is what people are referring to when they refer to the radical left. Being so upset over a drink called the caucasian that they quit their job. This is insanity.

I’m not trying to be inflammatory, but can someone explain what is offensive about the name “the caucasian”? His follow up about “the negro”, which I take as an off-color joke, is obviously still over a line whether he meant it or not. But, if it’s a White Russian, it seems obvious it’s a play on the Caucasian mountains or the Caucasus. What’s the issue?

SeptasLate t1_jbfuznk wrote

It might be because I live in a city, worked in the industry, and because it'd also a joke from the Big Lebowski, i can't find the problem.

There had to be something else going on.

givemewhiskeypls t1_jbfwrtz wrote

I’m 45, and The Big Lebowski is one of those movies that are a cult classic and people love it but somehow it snuck by me. I finally saw it but later in life. It was great but it just didn’t make that kind of impression on me.

Think about that for a second and wonder if maybe there's more to the story than just the drink. Who is making the joke and what you know about them tends to factor in quite a bit in how a joke is received so perhaps that has something to do with it.

You've done a terrible job assuming who I support politically and what side of the political spectrum I fall on. During this time of unemployment in your life I recommend going back to the drawing board and trying again. I think if I give you a second chance you might be able to figure out exactly what I think of the kinds of people you have come to believe I support.

After that I would recommend you find a job. Maybe you can work at this restaurant. It looks like they are hiring.
