Has this black couple a right to be offended?

There I have also used the word black to describe the couple also, am I wrong?

Perhaps I should have described them as a person in a white checked shirt accompanied by a person with a white striped coat with a red scarf?

But then I can't get all this on the receipt, what then? Dare I suggest their gender?

Had I been a white customer in a black bar, I wonder how I would have been described, perhaps that miserable old white git sitting in the corner maybe?

But no they can't say that, that is both racist and ageist. How many points for a double whammy?

Then when the bar staff took the food up, they should've noted down the table number.

So simple - why couldn't they do that???

In fact, that throws up another question...say if another black couple had sat down to dine?

Absolutely pathetic.
Could have been worse..
They could have mentioned the dirty fork :-)
People need to lighten up...
Oh 'eck :-S
they could only really be offended if it was raccism, are they capable of read the dictionaries definition?

•the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races (no way did the description do that, jsut described them, not gave an opinion of them)
•discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race (it didn't include any abusive ect language did it?)
