Ok..what? Self described Asians are claiming the word Asian as a descriptor for them is 'incredibly racist service'..and it makes the front page of stuff.
If you think your own ethnic background "Asian" is a pejorative then I think it might be you with the problem not the restaurant.
I can actually understand her logic. She just wants to be seen as everyone else in her native country and when some someone refers to her as "Asian" there can be whole shitload of loaded nuances that goes with that term.
Being of that ethnicity if it happened to me I might be annoyed, depends on how I was treated by the staff. Maybe I'd boycott the place if I felt that strongly (depends how good the food was....). Maybe I'd tell my mates. I don't think I'd go whingeing to the media about it though, seems like the response was disproportionately strong
I've never quite understood why Kiwi's group everyone from Iran - the Philippines as "Asian" and then get hot and bothered when called an Aussie.
Given the negativity associated with "Asian" I can understand that she got triggered. We wouldn't be questioning her stance if the restaurant worker had described a customer as "black"
Why ring the Ferald though? That I don't get
Why? Is it because it would be weird to describe an Asian as black?
I know in NZ we never really are comfortable with describing people as black but it seems to be extremely accepted over here in the UK.
I had a black Brit working for me in the UK one time who we were trying to get to serve on a diversity committee. Another colleague referred to him as black when an HR person, black, female from the US, took offence on his behalf and said we should use the term African American. He ( the black guy) said he wasn’t American or African and he was offended at her presumption. We didn’t get him to serve.
Didn't some US interviewer on tele keep asking a British sprinter about how he felt as an African American about some specific achievement ... I may be mistakem. Will have to google.
Hmmm ...

@mariner4life Fuck no. Could you imagine.
Interviewer: so, the Fern is a place where men and women can hang out online and talk sports and other shit.
Fern: men and woman. There can be only one. We don't know what happened to the others. It's actually a bit suspicious. -

Then again it’s pretty suspicious that he hasn’t denied killing anyone.
No I haven't.
Just a reminder to be careful what you say on here about me, you are all traceable.

There was a Dan Carter groupie back in 2004. I think she was called DanCarterAwesome or some shit like that. Also had a DC avatar. She thought Carlos Spencer was deliberately playing the flat back line because he was jealous of DC and wanted to sabotage him.

“ He always seemed a bit off to me and being an airline pilot is a great way for a serial killer to murder around the world and be gone before the authorities find out. If his posts are anything to go by his body count is probably well into three figures “.

justifiable homicide your honour
We have a very similar thing here. And my neighbour in his council submission just wrote dark grey for everything to get it passed, knowing full well he wasn't having that colour on either the roof or the walls.

@mariner4life Justifiable homicide. I like it, that is reasonable defence. Doing my bit for natural selection.
Retaining walls: Has to be light grey here. Why that is more "natural" than weathered timber is beyond me, and yes that is what they will be. I own a paint shop and no fucking way am I touching natural timber, I will plant trees, flax, whatever and those council morans will suck it up.
