ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This feels very racist.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 24, 2014, 08:47 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter needs to articulate a better reason than feelings.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I seriously doubt the poster had any racist intentions in this, and based the association on the similar expressions and, of course, the McDonald's tie in. I really don't see anything racist about it. Sensitivity run amok I think.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see this as really being racist, so I vote to let it stay.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't think it's racist.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
