Another restaurant receipt, another racial slur
This $*!# is getting old.
http://blog.sfgate.com/hottopics/2012/09/12/racial-slur-on-hooters-receipt-not-unique/
A former Hooters customer has sued the restaurant in New York City, alleging employees called him an ethnic slur on a receipt.
The receipt contained the slur “chinx,” the AP reports.
Kisuk Cha, a Korean immigrant and the plaintiff in the lawsuit, is not the first person to call out a business for insensitivity.
In January, The Huffington Post reported that Minhee Cho posted a photo of her receipt from Papa John’s, which contained the words “lady chinky eyes” under the customer name. Cho did not file a lawsuit, but her post elicited an apology from Papa John’s on the company’s Facebook page.

Apparently New York racists have not heard that there is a derogatory term strictly aimed at Koreans.
