Drunk hipster spews racist and homophobic slurs outside bar

Last edited Tue Jun 5, 2018, 09:33 AM - Edit history (1)

Gets fired. Claims he isn't racist, just stupid.

The article just talks about racist slurs, but I assume "f-g" is a homophobic slur unless there's a racist slur I'm unaware of that fits there.

I'm tired of people doing things that clearly show they're bigots but then claiming their actions don't mean they're bigots. Pretty much no one claims the title of "racist" and there's still tons of racism. Who is doing it? Obviously more people are racist than accept the title. I think our country needs to do some soul searching.

A hipster Brooklyn real estate agent was caught on video spewing racial vitriol at a black bouncer in front of a Bushwick bar early Friday morning.

Video shows Chris Giardina, 29, unleashing an expletive-laden string of epithets, including the n-word, at a bouncer and another man outside Wyckoff Avenue performance space The House of Yes early Friday morning.

“Touch me again you f—ing n–r,” Boston-area native Giardina can be heard shouting at the stoic bouncer, according to cell phone video.

Then he turns to a man shooting footage of the incident and shouts a slur against Latinos: “Yeah I said it, ‘cause he’s punching me you f––ing s–c.”

I've never angrily used the "N" word about black people, nor have I used the B or C word about women or done anything like that.

There was a day when the punk could have denied that he said what he said and get away with it. Not anymore.

The bouncer who was subject to a racist diatribe by a drunken Brooklyn bar-goer says he wants to bury the hatchet and “hug it out” with the man.

Real estate agent Chris Giardina was caught on video​ calling Jose Arturo Lopez, a bouncer at Bushwick performance venue The House of Yes, ​the N-word while also shouting racial slurs against Latinos.

Giardina, who claims the bouncer punched him before the camera started rolling, lost his job at real estate broker MySpace NYC over the footage.

It's simply meaningless.

Hipster = Someone consumed by appearances.

This is sad. I don't know what s-c is.

I will bury you,” he repeatedly shouts at the bouncer. . . . "You’ll lose your job and you’ll lose your house. Trust me."


Well, someone lost his job over the incident.

Hipsters are hip and know people are people and using racial slurs is a sign of ignorance and fear. He's a doofus for fucks sake.........
