"Take this job and shove it, I working here no more"

[armadillo]

(raw video, naughty language)

 

A racist rant by a San Francisco tour bus guide is raising eyebrows after a patron filmed the beer-holding woman slinging expletive-filled hate at Asians as the bus rolls through the city’s Chinatown.

 

The unidentified worker, holding court over tourists on the second level of an open-air double decker bus, repeatedly disses the neighborhood as she boasts that the Chinatown in her hometown of Los Angeles is “way cleaner” with “way better restaurants.”

 

A title screen in the video, viewed some 200,000 times on YouTube by Thursday afternoon, indicates the tour bus employee was working her last day with the company.

“F--- your salons, f--- your little herb gardens, f--- your little seafood f---ing markets with your turtles and your frogs inside, OK,” she begins. “When you come to America, you gotta assimilate a little bit. Here in America, we don’t eat turtles and frogs, OK … f---- your parades, f--- your dragons, f--- this s---, f--- Chinatown, OK, f--- ‘em!”

San Francisco is one of the greatest cities in the world, and the Chinese have a long history of contributions in helping to make San Francisco the great city that it is. Did not one person stand to challenger her, or ask to leave the bus? And I find it a little ironic, that it is a black woman.

Not defending her but the urban Black and Asian communities have had kind of a contentious relationship in the past. In the LA riots it was the Asian businesses that were mostly attacked. Not sure how it is today though.

Indeed you are absolutely correct, and I think that has a lot to do with the deep seeded rant of resentment. Good observation Jaker.

Also the ancestors of today's African-Americans mostly emigrated to the US in chains many years ago, leading to greater resentment on their part toward subsequent voluntary immigrants. African-Americans are still subject to the societal paradigm that they're lazy, shiftless, untrustworthy, and criminal. The language issue is also a sore spot; there's always the fear that people speaking other languages are talking about you. (A fear many non-immigrant whites share.) Plus it's not uncommon for immigrants themselves to be racist and prejudiced against African-Americans.

 

That said, the woman described here is a racist herself.
