When you open your own damn restaurant, you can call it whatever you like

Bigger unaskable question:

So: why is the “Obama Fried Chicken” place in a “predominently black neighborhood” owned and operated by… South Asians (or whatever the word is this week)?

Hey, shouldn’t you at least be thrilled they aren’t Koreans?

PS:

That’s because there is a major disjunction in American public discourse between the relatively wide latitude you are allowed if you claim to be engaged in “observational comedy” and the much more limited set of facts you are permitted to use when seriously analyzing how the world works. That’s a big reason America has better comedy than public policy.

If you don’t get goosebumps when you read those words, then it’s your moral compass that’s busted, not mine…
