...or Severely Asinine Racial Stereotyping....

I learned today that there is definitely more than one way to clear out the meat section at the local grocery store...one that is unfortunately completely outside my grasp.

As I was walking through the back of a very crowded grocery store a particularly happy and animated asian family were making their way from one aisle to another. One of the kids went on about a three cough jag...

It was almost surreal. It had been pretty loud for a grocery store back there but I swear, that kid coughed and it got as quiet as a library...half of the people within earshot just headed straight out of the store, the other half ducked down the nearest aisle.

The kid looked like he was about to cry. I picked out a nice steak and gave him a pat on the back as I left...

My first thought, which in hindsight seems a little mean, was that this would make a great 'Jackass' or 'Jamie Kennedy Experiment' sketch....

...now I guess I think it was just sad...

maybe we should put him to work on some crowded holes. he could be our lil asian pepe le pough!

Nice, Chappy. Are you always such an insensitive clod? Wait, I've seen your other posts. Never mind...


Back Eddy

your right back eddy. i am a racist insensitive clod. and i was everyone of those people running out of the supermarket aisle too. and i am SARS as well. man you are practically freud! i think if i were there i would have been disturbed by the scene as well. where does your comment come from back eddy ?and wasnt it stlhdh20 that said that his thought was that it would make a great jackass episode?(i agree stlhdh20). are you wound a little tight or what man... i know its cool to attack chappy but your a little late on the fad there urkle

C'mon h2o are you trying to say it's just white folk running from Asians? The Asians are running, too ... check this out

It\'s in the Times

Gutz-

Don't tell me you think that place makes its money from the asian community?

Purely speculation on my part but I'd be willing to bet serious money that the demographic from which that shopping center has lost the most in sales is from white, middle class caucasians...

I'll repost this link, which is from the Washington State Department of Health....

WSDoH - SARS


There are 24 suspect cases of SARS in Washington State as of 3:00 pm PST, April 25, 2003. Of the 24 suspect cases, two are considered "probable" cases.

Please note, these totals reflect suspect or probable cases of SARS; there are no confirmed cases in Washington State.

stlhdh2o,

head over to Hong Kong and try a little coughing fit in a grocery store over there...you'll see there ain't nothing racial about it, sorry if you get your feelings hurt, you'll just have to get over it, but that will be a whole lot easier for you than for the people who have already died.
