ok thanks for pointing that out. I just saw the image where it shows its part of step 1.
Whole Foods has yellow fever

Doesn't help that the the thread title is misleading and as far as people go
It's a joke, not a "misleading title"
can't blame ops for other posters refusal to actual read the information posted in a thread they choose to post in
I dont think we ever "didn't" have queer. The word means what it means. It can still be used as a pejorative.
Im not sure how this appropriates/de-powers the concept of the fetishization of Asian women. There is no word to be returned in this case.

It’s not OP’s fault that folks need to get their page 3 digs at 2nd generation Asians and “white expat bros” in too urgently to do a cursory skim of the thread
If you have receipts for this, I'm with you...
...and there it is.
Names like this for Asian restaurants isn't that unusual, ya'll have seen various names using wok and pho. Wok on Water, Pho King Way, Fu King, Thai Tanic, Bich Nga. Half the time you wonder if it is intentional or not, this is pretty blatant *shrug* On my outrage meter it is low, especially when it was done by one of us.

actually if you use some critical thinking and get it through your thick skull you would realize it does not. get it?

Listen up pal, I get that you're an ignoramus so I'll say it in simple terms for you. Rice belongs in burritos.
No? You realize that Mexico (through Spain) has rice too, right? What are you smoking?
I mean, what do you think paella is made of?
I expected you to make a stupid idiot argument like this. Go to any place that doesn't put rice in burritos and ask them if rice belongs in burritos.
OP
OP
Check this out dumbass, a place serving burritos without rice isn't actually serving burritos at all. They're just serving big tacos. Idiot.
Oh yeah? Then why do they say "Here is your burrito Mr Spencer" when I pick them up from the local shop? I don't hear them telling me to enjoy my big taco. Ever stop and think about this? Of course you didn't, because I'm starting to think you've never thought in your life.
Honestly the term “Yellow fever” bothers me a lot less than the actual concept of “Yellow fever”. It’s not something that’s in itself offensive like “Ching Chong” or pretending to “Speak Asian”. That’s just IMO of course.
Those are all just corny puns, there's a difference between those and a phrase which refers to the fetishization of Asian women.
This one isn't a pun, by the way. Bích Nga is just a Vietnamese person's name. It's the equivalent of naming a place Joe's Crab Shack or McDonald's.
Exactly.

Jesus Christ, you uncultured troglodyte. In the burrito making world it's extremely common to call a big taco a burrito as a goof. Maybe put the anime body pillow down, go outside and read a book about culture every now and then.
Nah. Hit up "Chubby Rice" in Hawthorne instead.
They also have the added benefit of not needing to torture the language or belittle accents to make them.
I have more culture growing on my body than you do from your so called "travels". Maybe get your face out of that book for once and you'll learn something.
Maybe if you actually ate a burrito you’d realize that the Mexicans got rice from the Spanish, who got it from the Moors, over a millenia ago, and so rice absolutely belongs in burritos.
If the owner was white it would be racist but seeing as the owner is Asian it's racist and also cringey.
What does the history of rice have to do with its inclusions in burritos. Thank you for the history lessons though, now I am racist against Moors.
It might be trying to take ownership of the phrase...it gives it less power.
Eh, on the other hand, you don’t want to be like those Asian American girls and their white allies who protested kimono day at a Boston museum... only to be opposed by older Japanese women who wanted to share that part of their culture with visitors.

OP
Maybe if you weren't an illiterate rube you'd have realized how stupid you sound. Perhaps you should put your face in a book for once!
I am very literate, I just choose to listen to books instead because it gives my eyes a break from all the work they do. Maybe you should give that a shot, your eyes would thank you. Imbecile.

OP
Listening to your hentai on cassette tapes doesn't count as reading you lout.
Because upper management is made up almost exclusively of clueless white men and sometimes clueless white men and women, and the company doesn’t have a culture where it’s okay for other employees to point these things out.
Just a guess though they could have paid someone to tell them whether this name was offensive or not.
What I listen to does not pertain to this conversation whatsoever and I'd appreciate it if you kept the discussion respectful and on topic you fucking moron.

OP
I apologise, it was a heated moment. I did not mean to denigrate a fellow hentai enthusiast.
