Owner Yung Lan would not agree to an interview. We speak Chinese and our English is limited, so we ask customers to spell their names on the phone, an Eddies server tells Yahoo Lifestyle. We typed the name he spelled.


Seems like an accident by a non-native English speaker, so an apology and maybe some free food should be all that's warranted here.

The "Nigel" guy wasn't even there that night. "Brandon" sounds nothing like the N-word. Nor does Nigel. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Businesses hire staff for Spanish, Chinese and Japanese customers/tourists all the time. It's not hard to find people who speak English in Washington, DC of all places.

Nobody tell frisbee about this.

He will be literally shaking and need someone to hold his hand and reassure him that everything will be Ok.

A small business run by non-native speakers doing this isnt nearly as racist as Donald Sterling or the Trumps discriminating against black people through their real estate empires, just saying.

I'm not gonna pretend I speak Chinese but maybe the two names sound similar to a Chinese listener.

Id recommend you some comics but most of the ones Ive enjoyed recently youve probably already heard of (because they range from popular to mega-popular).

A lot of them can be found on Netflix or if not YouTube:

Dave Chappelle
Bill Burr
John Mulaney
Dmitri Martin
Joe Mande (not seen anything but his Netflix special, but it was good also the intro song is awesome and hilarious. He played a side character on Parks n Rec occasionally.)
Louis C.K.
Michael Ches Netflix special was also good

As you can see, mostly globally known people. Ill try to think of some others once I wake up a bit more.

the restaurant said they thought it might have been a setup, so you totally don't believe that is possible?

I dont think so I looked it up and Che is only his middle name (last name Campbell), given to him by his father who was a fan of Che Guevara.

And do you like gilbert gottfried and lisa lampanelli? jerry seinfeld is also ok.

Ill have to check their stand-ups out! (I feel like I have tried to watch one of Jerrys before and gotten bored, but Ill give him another shot.)

Also do you think you could get modded for posting that video?

Idk, hope not. Ive posted before a Louis C.K. routine where he also uses the word. In this context I would find a moderation laughable given that hes talking about another language where the sounds dont even relate to the racial slur in English, lol.

Because the internet is always smarter than common sense.

Unless some group of bandits burst into the restaurant, strong armed the staff, took & prepared the order - writing the n-word on the receipt in the process - there is no excuse.

Sometimes things are just as they appear to be.
