Suddenly I got this urge for chocolate. Weird.
- How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
- How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
- Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
this is supposed to be one of those “take that, racist prick” stories. these are pretty common
-
The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
-
It’s just a picture of a woman?
-
Probably something horny and vaguely racist.
Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you’re spot on with #3.
How did the bigot know the guy was Jewish?
It’s in the setup of the joke
- It’s pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.
-
Race is relevant because it’s the point of the joke (he’s racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn’t relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I’d forward it to HR with the note “hey just file this one away, you don’t need to act on it right now but you’re definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later”.
What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?
There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.
To me it reads as both
He bought drinks for all the other non-black women in the bar, so gender doesn’t appear to factor into it for him.
That just depends on the order of attributes you prefer to use to refer to a person.
For me gender or age would usually come first rather than race
Okay, that’s a fair point as to that comment not making it more sexist than racist, but not for it only being racist. I don’t see anything in the story pointing to race over sex.
I would argue that mentioning race at all is what makes it more of a racist thing.
Like, why say that woman was black at all then?
But it’s all just semantics, it’s a fake story that has both aspects in it, and it doesn’t really matter if it’s one or the other
I refuse to believe that you don’t already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don’t have an inkling about 3
Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.
3, beautiful woman on leather chair glows like an angel
Duh
This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.
How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
The story itself isn’t a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.
How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
Maybe he’s targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).
Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
Ask him? His name is on the image.
The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.
- Gotchas are better if the guy who got got is bad.
- It’s not.
- “All the way black girl”
- Restaurant/bar owner black ladies called Albert Einstein. Its the first result on google image search.
Where does the bus driver fit in this story though?
Isn’t it supposed to be like those riddles where the answer is that the doctor’s a woman?
“the rich man boobied the black boobies”
There needs to be an !upvotedbecauseboobs
That model is beautiful. Who is she?
Albert Einstein
Thank you.
Hey guys, I found the restaurant owner
anok yai, maybe

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.
Thank you
She’s the owner of the restaurant, duh.
When you want to write an interracial, humiliation-kink erotica but you only know how to post on LinkedIn.
Da fuk…
Was the man’s name JD Vance?
Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??
Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.
i like how the bar turned into a restaurant
He was in the bar for a looong time.
In the UK you can buy food there
You can buy food in the UK now? They’ve came along way
just because they call it food ; doesn’t mean that it is food.
Aye but we consider it a luxury
If you’re that rich, they will just let you turn a bar into a restaurant
A bar is technically a restaurant I think. At least I feel the terminology can be vaguely applied.
Where I live any establishment that serves alcohol to be consumed on premises must also serve some sort of food option to go with it. So by that token, all bars are restaurants here.
Same here, but that can be covered by chips and peanuts so it doesn’t mean all bars have a full kitchen.
Also I know a place that’s 3 bars in one. All three are music venues. The two big rooms don’t serve food, but the third is always free and has an awesome kitchen. They get around it that way.
Sometimes there’s two different shows going on so you’d have to pay for each of the big rooms upstairs, but downstairs is accessible to attendees of either show.
Yeah up until a couple years ago my state had a requirement that any business that made more than 70% of its income from sales of alcohol were required to be private clubs with memberships. Which is why so many bars and pool halls had a dusty clipboard with “guest sign-in sheets” near the door that everyone ignored. Like many things, this didn’t survive the pandemic.
We have (had?) separate registrations for bars vs restaurants, and there are (were?) limits on how much revenue from each source a bar vs restaurant could have (bars must primarily derive income from alcohol, restaurants from food). I haven’t seen the little signs they used to have to place out front that signified whether the establishment was a bar or a restaurant, so I’m not sure if they changed the rules generally or just that one.
why that shiny???
Wow, I did NOT expect that story after seeing the picture. Doesn’t seem related.
I should design a userscript that completely removes the “social” feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I’ve ever seen.
Removed by mod
Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
I can’t set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.
I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.
For now anyway you can use ublock to blow away:
- the promoted inane shit
- this fucker liked this inane thing
- et al
Use the picker to select the element for the promoted and step up until you find =“promoted” in the selector. This works for the other bullshit they try and shove down your throat and your feed will be 98% less shitty.
