New Zealand restaurant imitates Chinese English

Joking becomes ever more risky



A New Zealand Asian fusion restaurant has been branded racist over its 'juvenile' and 'tone deaf' menu.

Philip Kraal, the owner of Bamboozle, in Christchurch, has come under fire for his choice of dish names, which include 'chirri garrik an prawn dumpring' and 'pang pang cori frower'.

But despite the angry backlash online Kraal, who is white, has defended his decision, saying: 'Pretty much every one of our customers enjoys the written menu.'

The menu was outed by Twitter user Alice Galletly who posted it to her feed along with the caption: 'Ho lee phuk, the menu for Bamboozle restaurant is some super juvenile racist trash!'

While her initial message was only met with a few dozen retweets it was subsequently picked up by New Zealand media and the outrage spread.

The professionally offended are offended on behalf of others.

Whining little liberal snowflakes with their annoying high pitched voices hearing them is like fingernails on a blackboard

Just goes to show that the 'progressives' have no sense of humour!
