https://www.yahoo.com/news/video-man-causes-scene-demands-142835369.html

A man was filmed causing a scene at a Chinese restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, soon after he noticed a statue of Buddha inside the store.

Key details: The video has been widely shared on several social media platforms, including Twitter and the subreddit r/PublicFreakout, where it received over 14,000 upvotes and more than 1,600 comments since being posted on Sunday.

Video details: The clip starts with a man in a blue long sleeve shirt demanding a refund from the Chinese restaurant in Albuquerque after seeing the Buddha statue, explaining that he is a Christian. Another man in a grey shirt can also be seen shaking his head in disbelief as he tries to speak with the other man.

After the video zooms out, a manager can be seen speaking with the upset man from the doorway, denying him his request for a refund and telling him, There is nothing I can do for you. Yeah, I am the manager. Thats racist, and Im not giving you a refund.

The video shows their argument continuing for a few more minutes until one of the customers inside finally puts an end to it by yelling at the Christian man, Shut up, sir! Shut up.

What people are saying: Some users over at Reddit were displeased at what the man did inside the Chinese restaurant, with one user mentioning how a girl casually walked up between the two arguing men to place her order while another user praised the woman for standing up to the Christian man.

Young girl just walks up in between them and places her order like there is nothing going on, the Reddit user commented. Well done.

Shut up, sir! That woman is a hero, the other wrote.

I truly do not understand how these people are capable of functioning on a day to day basis when something as benign as a Buddha statue in a Chinese restaraunt triggers them so badly...

How the fuck are these the key details? Why is this article more about the reddit thread instead of the event itself?

If I've learned anything from my job at a hotel, it's that people will look for ANY excuse to get a refund. Doesn't matter what that excuse is, they think if they throw a big enough tantrum they get free stuff.

As an atheist I can attest to the unmitigated greatness of old Catholic and Lutheran grandmas making delicious pirogis and baked goods.

He's the kind of person who would go to a Mexican restaurant and see one of those paintings of a Mexican dude in sombrero having a siesta and then complain it's racist because there isn't a white man in it too.

And who knows what offensive shit he would say if he saw a portrait of Frida Kahlo.

I thought they hated the Chinese for being godless communists, turns out they just hate anyone that isn't white or Christian.

He hates the people and culture, likes the food, and wanted an excuse to have a meal without paying.

Im sure he will set up a GoFundMe because he's a white Christian who was oppressed because of his religion and skin color and other idiotic bigots will give him money. It's basically another kind of grift.

This is what I imagine happened.

Suspect: Right-wing media has empowered me! How can I use my conservative, white male status for my own gain? I know! I'll eat at a Chinese restaurant and then find an excuse not to pay. My fellow right-wingers will rejoice and support me!

9 times out of 10, what people like him are calling Buddha has nothing to do with the founder of the religion anyway.. he's just a jolly fat monk that's supposed to be lucky. Getting mad about him is like getting mad if someone had a horseshoe hanging over the door.

Also this. Buddha statues are more of a cultural thing than a religious thing.

It's like getting pissed that a Japanese sushi place has one of those beckoning cat statues.

I really do think this is what happened. I don't think the guy is actually offended. He just wanted to start shit and get a free meal to stick it to the Chinese.
