Remember. It's okay for niggers to say nigger, refer to
themselves as niggers, call each other nigger, but don't you
dare call a nigger a nigger.
The same rules don't apply for Italians or anyone else however
apparently.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – New York Racing Association officials
say they've banned a food truck from Saratoga Race Course after
customers complained that the name of the business was offensive.
The co-owners of the Schenectady-based Wandering Dago tell local
media that they were informed Friday night by NYRA officials
that they had to remove their truck from the track Saturday
morning, a day after it opened for its 40-day season.
NYRA officials say they received complaints about the use of a
word that's considered derogatory to Italian-Americans.
The truck's owners say they're both of Italian descent and
consider the term a tribute to their hardworking immigrant
ancestors.
The owners had a previous run-in with the state when they were
denied a food vendor's license at the Empire State Plaza in
downtown Albany.
