A Texas woman claims she received a bill with a racial slur printed on it while dining at a resort in Mexico this week.
Tiffani Janelle, a Houston chef, was with a group celebrating her friend’s birthday at Be Tulum Resort Hotel and Spa in Talum, Mexico, when the table reportedly received a bill with the n-word printed on it. The 35-year-old chef, in a Facebook post on Monday, said she was shocked and had never before had anyone use that word toward her.
"Personally for me, this was my first vacation since 2012. It was ruined. Because mentally, I had to return to how black people are treated in the US. I wish I could begin to explain that as much as I have struggled with the struggle, no one has actually CALLED ME A [racial slur], to my face, until Monday," Janelle captioned the post, including a picture of the bill.
According to her post, Janelle and her friends had finished lunch when the waitress asked for an explanation for splitting the bill. The waitress then returned to the table with the receipt with the slur allegedly printed on it. The racial slur was reportedly included under their table description on the receipt.

(back in 1989) and experienced none of that. Technically the Spanish word for "black" is "negro" but makes you wonder if the waitress was actually Mexican or something else.
Where I DID hear the n-word was in Egypt (in '92), in one of the restless towns in the southern part (Esna), between Luxor and Aswan, where some young adults and teens (many of them Nubians), who were darker than our black American tour group, started calling out the n-word at us in halting English as we walked past. I expect that they got that from their lovely European tourists.
