    I dont understand this kind of photos. Why do you just photgraph random people and load it up to the internet? Especially if they are a kids/teenagers and are feelling obviously unwell about it …Kind of a dick move. And Im not talking about the arrogant joke garnished with racism

      I agreed until you called this racist, this is just observational humor about hole in the wall/family owned restaurants. Joke good, photographing kids bad. Even if OP is hypothetically racist, nothing racial was said so you are reaching for offense here

        Its a Joke about a family living on the edge of poverty. The kids have to work in the business instead of doing their homework in a quiet place or go playing. And the joke is not working on the level “were are all in this shit hole together”, this would be fine. No it the arrogant “hey look at this poor kid living in this shit hole. Hahaha. Now bring me my food” level.

        The racism is just the garnishment on top. Playing the cliches of people from asia.

          Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.

          Brother that’s more racist than the joke. You presumed everything based on your existing bias/prejudice.

              Ah you’re simple, sorry I didn’t realize.

              I’ll repeat what someone already said, read it slow now: Hole in the wall family owned Asian cuisine is typically way better than a large corporate Asian cuisine restaurant.

                So the picture of a 13(?) year old kid inside a unpolished takeaway with the text “better done his homework” is a glorification of “family owned asian cuisine”? I dunno. I think this would look different

                  Admittedly I didn’t see the title. Just the caption in the image. Regardless, you seeing it different says more about you than anything else.

              You are assuming it’s a race thing at all. So you think this same photo where the restaurant was a family owned burger joint and the kid at the cash register was white that suddenly wouldn’t be racist? That makes you the racist. You clocked the race of the child and presumed a whole lot of information that was not given to you. How do you know this isn’t a summer job? How do you know the actual age of the kid? He could be 16 with a slower development. There’s so much that you are assuming based solely off of your experience around Asians and Asian restaurants.

                Seriously, a really popular show out now is Bob’s Burgers, about a family who owns a burger restaurant and he absolutely loves making great burgers. And they’re white.

                The idea is if it’s a small, family run restaurant, there’s a good chance those recipes are family recipes. So it’s gonna be good.

                Also, I understood the homework thing to be about his age , not about his race. I might be wrong, though.
