My stepdad is an idiot. I'd like to make that clear for anyone who doesn't follow my blog on the regular before I proceed.
Years and years ago, before he moved out and before this stupid pandemic, my family would dine at the local Chinese buffet. The staff were all young Asians in their late teens/early twenties. Cracker Barrel, having all the intelligence and social decorum of a thirteen year old who's been kicked in the brain by a horse, thought it was hilarious to say things like "OOH BEEF ANDAH BROCREE!!!" and "ONE DOLLAH MAKE YOU HOLLAH!!!"
PotatoGod, who was around ten, and I found this mortifying. We'd beg Cracker Barrel not to do his Chinese impression, especially not where the waiters could hear him, because it was racist. To this we got a lecture about "it's just a joke" and "we need to lighten up." And the next time we went to Buffet, he'd do it again.
