Next time Call a 泥哥 Nigxx, We mean no harm

An assistant manager at the store told New York City based website Gothamist
, “We’re all of different races here in this store. So she didn’t mean
any harm, didn’t mean to stereotype against her, to discriminate against
her, but that’s how she took it.”
Franchise owner Ronald Johnson, who runs five Papa John’s locations,
including the one where the incident took place, was also sympathetic to the
employee who was fired.
“I bet I’ll talk to her and she won’t know why this is offensive,”
Johnson told Gothamist. “She needs to know, and she will know. If I fire
her, two years from now, she won’t even remember why she got fired. If I
sit her down and talk to her, I can help her.”
Meanwhile, a Papa John’s manager who simply identified himself as “Jerome
” (for obvious reasons) blames Cho for the negative publicity the company
has received from the incident.
“It’s affecting how we work,” Jerome complained to the New York Post. “
This is a place of business. I truly don’t think it’s fair what she did;
it’s just crazy … I think the lady put it out there just to get some
attention — some people like that type of attention. I truly don’t think
it’s fair. It’s been taking up all our time. It’s been very disruptive.”
What do you think? Did Cho just want some attention … or was she truly
offended by being called “Lady Chinky Eyes?” |
