Here in New Woke City, there was some recent drama in Chinatown. From what I was able to patch together, Winnie’s is a popular karaoke place in that neighborhood. Some of the staff are middle-aged Chinese people who are not super fluent in English and are understandably not well-versed in the religion of #woke that currently rules the Big Apple.
Here’s how all of that blended together a week or two ago:
A group of people arrived — including a tall black man, dressed in women’s clothes and claiming to be a woman. When he and his actually female friends headed to the ladies’ room, an employee named Winnie (not the owner) logically refused to let the man into a space where he clearly did not belong.
Of course, cell phones were whipped out. When this ensuing video went viral, the owner of Winnie’s felt compelled to issue an apology. They promised that Winnie the employee was suspended and would now undergo sensitivity and diversity training.
Here’s what one offended wokester posted in a Yelp review:
A few more thoughts:
If you watch the video, you can hear the black man say (in his pathetically fake female voice): “Don’t you realize I’m a fuckin’ woman? I’m wearing high heels. I’m wearing a fuckin’ skirt.” Yep, he said the quiet part out loud. “Woman” is merely a costume to these creeps and clowns and it’s baffling to me why anyone would endorse such blatant misogyny.
“Diversity training” = re-education.
For the record, I also learned that Winnie’s was still requiring vax cards as late as summer 2022. So, if you wanna protest and leave bad reviews, you could at least focus on an authentic offense.
A reminder from Henry Miller: “There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.”
one store here in small town georgia refused to let unmasked people in a few weeks ago. Of course they won't ever see me again. There was no one in the store, so I guess I am not alone. Leave these nutcases be, their store will soon be out of business.
And never apologize. The folks who are making the most noise are that same group that bitch about the service and never tip. You don’t need them. The courage is growing in the silent majority, and the pendulum is starting its return arc.
