Restaurant Calls Black Guy “McStinkyNigger,” “McNigShit” & “McCottonWood”

Like an incident a few weeks back, another racial slur on a receipt was given to a customer and this customer actually filed a law suit suing for the total amount of his pride.

A federal lawsuit filed by a successful African-American businessman against a Newport Beach steakhouse that repeatedly listed him on credit card receipts as “McStinkyNigger,” “McNigShit” and “McCottonwood” has been mutually dismissed, according to records at Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Orange County.

Court files show that lawyers representing plaintiff Mark McHenry and Landmark Steakhouse of Corona del Mar agreed to a stipulated settlement of the lawsuit on Feb. 2 — a month before the case was scheduled to be heard by a jury. No terms of the settlement were revealed. But you can guess any payment to McHenry is going to be financially substantial. It is against federal law for a public business to brazenly discriminate against a customer based on race.

And there was this: The 10-month-old case ended after McHenry’s lawyers at Reed Smith LLP in Los Angeles uncovered an additional 12 inflammatory examples of racists comments and after U.S. Magistrate Judge Victor B. Kenton rejected the restaurant’s strenuous attempts to thwart the lawyers from inspecting 167,000 other customer receipts to check for a systematic, widespread use of racial epithets.

In a deposition, Mario Marovic, a partial owner of CDM Restaurant, Inc. which includes Landmark Steakhouse, said that he does not “discriminate against any group of people on any basis whatsoever.”

Exactly, he doesn’t discriminate against any race, he just likes to know that they know their place or maybe he just throws slurs for bad tippers and him being black was more or less a coincidence.

What is stronger, the law protecting you from discrimination or the law protecting your right to hate other people? Unfortunately, we still don’t know, but we plan to put this to the test by opening a chain of restaurants: “Me So Hungry, Me Feed You Long Time” in China Town, “Wetback Beanhouse,” and “Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.”

  1. Ya know, it DOES seem like when someone pissed you off, you want to say the first ignorant thing that comes to your mind, and if it happens to be a race or gender slur, then so be it… I don’t consider myself a biased person but I do admit to swearing nasty things (not AT the person usually, but to myself at least) using whatever slur is most readily handy as a fallback clutch. It’s a bad habit.

    • It’s true, when you retaliate at someone when your mad you typically want to go for the easy low blows. It doesn’t happen often for me, but I’m just the right shade of brown that I can preach hatred and people don’t know if they should be mad.
