Bothering strangers at a restaurant to show them a meme you like

What’s with people and their toys at Flour + Water? First there was that iPad tennis thing, and now Beth Spotswood shares the story of some ladies at the communal table accosting her and her friends with memes on an iPhone:

The photo was of a little Asian boy. And across his forehead were the letter, “HERRO.” Big Chris, who is half-Asian, politely laughed. He doesn’t give a shit. And Brittney, who was the farthest away, couldn’t really even see. But I did not politely laugh. I said, “I never thought I’d see someone show a stranger a racist photo at flour + water!”

One of the women said, “It’s okay, I’m half Korean!”

What’s with people? Read on.

  1. As a Cuban I’m only aloud to make fun of ass-holes from Florida.

    But yeah, internet memes just aren’t enjoyable outside boring contexts (cubicle, etc.).

    I’m trying to think of something lamer than fake wood panelling on a mobile phone.

    Sorry, read the blog, Beth sounds like a total bitch. It’s ok to be racist with your ethnic friends as long as it’s in private? Still wrong.
