"It was a beautiful day. There was a lot of people enjoying their Sunday brunch, lunch," he said. "I've been in the restaurant a lot of times. They're really good people. I know the owners. I'll be there again.
it was a long wait, and I decided to leave because my ankle was hurt at the time. I couldn't stand there."

People are just too damn sensitive these days.
You always had your cranks even back a few years but it isn't anything like today.
Or maybe it is just covered more in the media?

The article was satire was it not?
"as a matter of natural law, there is always an open table for beloved superstars who win home playoff games in dramatic fashion. Under the circumstances, Giannis Antetokounmpo is to be given the first and best available accommodations, and if none are open at the moment he crosses the restaurant's threshold, seated customers are to be politely asked to eat their burritos while standing at the bar, or to give their half-eaten burritos to Giannis Antetokounmpo, if he so desires."
The right needs to lighten up

Satirical or not, that's not how many leftist rags portrayed the issue by posting headlines such as:
Giannis Antetokounmpo Can Hit A Game-Winner, Can't Get A Damn Table At Milwaukee Restaurant
NO TACOS FOR TIP-INS: Giannis Antetokounmpo was ready to celebrate with a victory dinner after a hard fought win against the Boston Celtics.
But there was no preferential treatment for the Milwaukee Bucks superstar — and people were upset he had to wait for a table.
Giannis Antetokounmpo ignored at a Milwaukee Mexican Restaurant after a Bucks win.
Many which have been removed or "updated". The bottom line is that the first reaction was to scream racism before knowing the truth.

The bottom line was the article was written tongue in cheek. Nothing to do with racism.

Hey Right Wingers, You should take Steven Bannon's "advices" and accept the your racism and wear it as a badge of honor
Former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon has told a far-right gathering in France that accusations of racism should be considered a "badge of honor."
"Let them call you racists," the one-time White House chief strategist said at a National Front Party conference in Lille on Saturday.
"Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor," Bannon added as he spoke in front of an unfurled American flag.

Weird how you forgot to highlight the part where he said "accusations of racism" instead choosing to manipulate his words by starting with the word racism. Pretty telling of liberals and their media kinfolk.

"Weird" is as far as I got, and I agree with you

not intentional on my part and does it really make any difference since you can clearly read the entire thing

You're terrible at this quoting thing.....he doesn't say to accept accusations of racism. ::)

yep, he just says to wear them as a badge of honor
that's completely different from accepting them
when you wear something as a badge of honor you're actually rejecting it
right?

Their being called racists is incorrect. That negates the argument right there. Just because people don't want foreigners flooding their country doesn't make them racists. To call someone racist for having that view is incorrect.

Do racists even realize they're racists? Or do they think they are just against immigration, minorities for noble reasons and racists don't really exist or they've never seen one . I know people who have said to me "I'm not racist but I don't want a black moving in next to me". And I think to myself "If you're not racist, what would make someone racist?"

It seriously doesn't deserve an answer. Somethings we can hold self evident

If it is so self evident you should be able to provide a simple, short-and-sweet answer/explanation.

It's no different than asking "Why is murder bad?" or "Prove light exists" or "Why can't I marry my sister"

Student government declares teepee-like structure ‘culturally insensitive’ and ‘not tolerable’
College Fix ^ | April 27, 2018 | Daniel Payne
Posted on 4/27/2018, 12:42:31 PM by C19fan
At the University of Southern California, a somewhat teepee-like structure that was not actually a teepee was recently declared “culturally insensitive” due to the fact that it looked like a teepee.
The tent-like creation, which vaguely resembled a Native American-style dwelling unit but was not actually a Native American-style dwelling unit, drew condemnations from the Undergraduate Student Government, which called it a “culturally inappropriate symbol,” the student newspaper The Daily Trojan reported.

Everyone is racist to some degree, Liberal Losers will never admit it, they only use it to accuse others.

None of the articles you linked to fabricated or even implied racism. I'll give you that you'd probably have to read into it and we might interpret it differently, but the gq article, the jalen rose video and the deadspin article you linked to all had the same slant: hometown hero not recognized by oblivious restaurant-mostly in a humorous/satirical way. When deadspin updates an article they don't change it, they just add on to it with a timestamp at the end of the article. So, nothing was changed after the fact. None of the comments on deadspin even mention race. Even in that youtube video's comments, where people discuss race as openly as they do here, there are very few mentions of race one way or another, and most people are just arguing over whether or not a famous person deserves special treatment.
I don't think the left are the ones fabricating racism here.
