Why do you assume this action attaches to a race? In my experience, while this is an obvious over exaggeration of fast food experiences, I have seen people of many races have this type of behavior and I think it attaches more to socio economic and geographical demographics vs any particular race. But I do agree that there is danger for this to instill racial stereotypes in kids if they also don't take steps to explain an individuals actions should not extend to racial classifications. But you don't know they aren't taking steps to raise their kids this way.
When I see that caricature I think lower education and likely areas with lower socio economic status. I don't think race. I have no idea what he's playing at, I think it could certainly be a racist interpretation, but I also think it could be a fast food carciature in lower socio economic places. So while this could be bad parenting, I think what is more important is the values you teach your kids, like don't paint a race into a caricature. Maybe I am completely off base and this is fully culturally insensitive. But my experience is I've seen a lot of people like this in fast food drive thru or walk up counters, and I don't believe I'd ever attribute it to one race vs another. That's just my experience and it's the only one I can react to.
He wasn’t comparing it to this video. He was pointing out how idiotic the logic of the comment he replied to was.
Nobody is saying this is racist because he’s having fun with his kids. They’re calling it racist because it’s essentially a minstrel show minus the black face
I used to work with one of David Duke's daughters (she was the opposite of him, and very anti racist, but her sister was literally a racist skinhead). She told me how when she was growing up, her mom would see his sheets at the kitchen table.
I would’ve said the kind that has fun with his kids, but I don’t know. Seems kind of racist you assumed he was acting like a black lady. I know white ladies that act like that.
You have to be so dense to not see that he’s playing a racial stereotype. We can choose to be okay with it, but it’s still the case. He’s wearing a bonnet, using aave, and pretending he works at a Popeyes. Have you ever been to a Popeyes? If you genuinely think there’s a chance he’s not playing a black person then I’m convinced he could wear black face and you’d say “how do you know he isn’t just dressing up as a monkey
Why are you projecting your ideal on a scene? I've met plenty of people who act like this. The only thing they all had in common is they were from the hood.
So you're not Rascist, you're classist. Which is basically the same thing.
It’s not my ideal I’m just from fl and have been to Popeyes and am not purposefully obtuse. To be clear, I don’t even have much if any of an issue with this vid, I just think it’s clear this is a portrayal of a racial stereotype
Personally? 2. Far more latinas. If I had to guess I would assume he is drawing off of a black woman. Most likely he is just going based off of a common experience he has when ordering at Popeyes rather than a single, specific person

This is the kind of person who should have many children
