Interesting pricing structure.

Also seems to be a blatant violation of Michigan public accommodation laws.

It will be interesting to see how they enforce the distinction at the gate. Surely not by racial profiling!

Yes, I wondered what would happen if somebody like me showed up wanting the POC discount, but did not obviously fit their stereotype of what a Hispanic person should look like.

Also, side questions: Why is "person of color" OK, but not "colored person"? Is a white person a person of no color"?

I can envision a black man saying, "You can't call me a Negro, you racist POS. Now excuse me while I fill out this application to the United Negro College Fund."

Yeah... I think a black man would be within his rights to take offense at you using the term "negro" while being OK with the United Negro College Fund.

Is it really that confusing?

Given the epic s*** sandwich that black people have been forced to eat in America over the past 200+ years, I am OK with them dictating to me what names/descriptions they are comfortable with.

i think I have just been virtue attacked. maybe thatis OK, since I am a deplorable and therefore a bad person. I must learn to speak and think purwly, as you do. Send me to a re-education camp.

Yes it is confusing, that a given word may or maynot be OK to use, depending on the grandparents of the speaker.

I have both white and Hispanic gramdparents. which words are OK for me to use? which am I not allowed to use? explain rightthinking to me, big brother.


93, I saw the world that you hate so much. you didn't. And remember, I am a POC and don't have to take this **** from you.
