Are those derogatory?

Haha cancel Bammer

"Chinatown" sounds weird because "chinaman" is often (always?) used in a derogatory manner. Little Italy just sounds cute.

Lol I just completed a survey … I’ll spare you the details but it was from a legit organization.

20+ multiple choice questions, of which every single answer started with a capital letter. Except for the race category, of course, where “white” was spelled using lower case. Out of probably 80 answers throughout the survey they made sure of this. Lol.

Obviously you can't shove kids, but there's not enough information in that video to say the guy is a racist.

There’s a non-zero chance that the kid was throwing something in the driver’s direction. You know, something that could have landed underneath the brake pedal and lodged there and then you know the rest…

Now imagine that kid’s white.

Here's a potential explanation -

He wants the younger kid to sit in the front (he pushes him into the seat next to him) and he thinks the girl is older than 10 (because she looks pretty big) and wants her to sit in the back.

Bammer’s post was… a Bammer post, but what was wrong with Juan’s? Old man, unruly kids… I’ve got 3 young ones, they’re monsters.

I'm not trying to justify shoving the kids, just pointing out that the guy isn't necessarily a racist.
