New Jersey pizzeria fires manager who went on anti-Semitic tirade over day off for Rosh Hashanah

A New Jersey pizzeria has fired the manager accused of sending anti-Semitic text messages to a teenage employee after he asked to take off for a Jewish holiday.

The family that owns Maurizio’s Pizzeria & Italian Ristorante in Eatontown, New Jersey, also has apologized to the teen who worked as a pizza delivery driver.

Nicholas Bogan, 17, had been working for a short time at the pizzeria, when he asked to take off the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

I've known a guy well for two years when he just suddenly (as in, Sunday) went on an anti-Mexican (not Hispanic, but people from the the country of Mexico) tirade, mainly because he is Apache and he was tired of them speaking to him in Spanish and then them being mad because he doesn't speak Spanish.

I'm not sure it was entirely racist, but it came as a huge surprise. Lots of venom.
